We will be happy to count you in the organisation. + +Our goal is to make small extension easy to find, so for 1 line extension we created this repo. +That make it easier to maintain and respond to issues that going through N repository hosted by M user +and where you never remember where is what. + +If you have a bigger extension and whant it on it's own repo, it's ok too, +we can create teh repo and give you admin right. + +One thing we want to avoid is project being abandoned by their author without a way +to update the readme, or give contribution access to people interested. + +So if you contribute an extension there, and just go away we won't mind, and if a extension is +abandonned and want to adopt it, the res of the organisation can give you write access to update it. + +This is roughly base on how https://github.com/ipython-contrib/IPython-notebook-extensions works +and we should be more explicit there too. + +Also we are not officially afiliated with IPython itself, we have much lower code standard, +and will give you commit right much more easily. + + + +
