[SciPy-Dev] Interest in a "controls" scikit?

[Jeffrey Armstrong]

After seeing the discussion started by the scikit-signal proposal on the 
list, I wanted to see if there would be interest in a scikit related to 
controls.  While I wouldn't purport to be an expert, I have managed to 
author some control design equation solvers, notably algebraic Riccati and 
Lyapunov equation solvers, and I have a pythonic wrapper for LAPACK's 
Sylvester equation solver.  Combined with much of the LTI code in 
scipy.signal, I think there's a good start here towards providing some 
control system design tools.

I wanted to see if others would be interested in helping out and whether 
the scikit path is the right choice (I admit I was a little confused by 
the outcome of the scikit-signal discussion).  Thanks for any input!
