1 Hi Marcus.

3 Thanks for picking this up!
4 I did not realise we did not have kpl, gun/labplot and others under some sci
5 category yet, so I think this would be nice to do indeed.
6 Just one suggestion:
7 all the sci-* categories are in fact full words and not shorthands, so it
8 would make sense to make this a full word too. Something like
9 sci-visualization or sci-plot.

11 Oh, another one. When you submit the proposal to -dev it will be nice to
12 include an estimate of how many other plotting/graphing packages we have
13 lined up in bugzilla. Not that it makes it any stronger with the list of 16
14 already in portage :), but still is nice to have..
