[Scilab-users] Atoms Modules

[P M]

Hi Samuel. Chin Luh,

Ok...let me command as a user.

I hesitated to comment, because I am not sure if I am educated enough to
answer the question, if IPCV maintenance should be continued.

My first question back to Chin Luh would be...What do you mean by
maintenance?... Adding new functions?

My second question is: Why would the obviously success of the toolbox be a
reason to stop maintenance?


Best Regards,
Philipp
