Hi,

it really depends on what we want to achieve in the end. Numeric bindings need more visibility and have to be officially associated with ublas. This can be done in 2 possible ways:

(1) either we have a separate project that will remain separated but highly publicized and people will have a simple way to download and install bindings. We will have to do reference to it in the documentation. Releases will be independent from the main Boost.uBLAS (the one I will push from github/ublas/ublas to github/boostorg/ublas)

(2) or we integrate them into the official Boost.uBLAS. It's not a bad idea when you think about it. But maybe it's too much for a single library like ublas.

(3) a third option would be to split them up into basic and advanced bindings because in the end, I want ublas to smoothly interact with the main numerical libraries. And the job is already done with the bindings.

Option (3) means we will have the bindings as a development branch in github/ublas.

Best,
David

Hello all,
since the transition to github seems complete now, I believe it is also the time to migrate the numeric bindings there as well. Here are two options :
1. Include the bindings in the regular uBlas branch in the development repository (https://github.com/uBLAS/ublas)
2. Create a new repository in https://github.com/uBLAS/ that will serve as the official numeric bindings repository (and of course provide access to all the interested developers and maintainers)

I would vote for no. 2 as I think it would be better for projects that cannot be classified as "basic or semi-basic" linear algebra to be kept separate from the ublas repository for the moment, but still have a very close relationship with the official project.

- What does everybody think?
- Do any other options cross your mind?
