So I pushed some changes to linguistics task here: https://github.com/giuliopaci/science_blends.git Can you review and import those changes into git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/blends/projects/science.git ? >> > I can add the package to linguistics, machine >> > learning and statistics. >> >> What I meant with my question is: are those two tasks right for this >> package?

For me it is a bit confusing, because I see a mixture of "use cases" vs "topics" in the current tasks definitions, that makes them very ambiguos in my mind. linguistics is probably too generic as a topic to be able to avoid adding a lot of tools that are not useful to the greatest part of the users. I would personally include many tools that are required to my work on linguistics that are probably not relevant to many other people working on linguistics. Namely: ffmpeg, sox and sptk (among the other). Anyway I added some of these tools that I use very often as suggestions (transcriber, praat and wavesurfer), as they are targeted to linguistics. There are several tools that are also very relevant, like espeak or festival, which includes many technologies that are very handy to people doing research on linguistics. Maybe I should suggest "speech technologies" task, or similar, somewhere? Cheers, Giulio
