Re: Numeric bindings repository

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
