I was thinking along the same lines. I'm planning on adding a tutorial in
the documentation, Sphinx has some nice support for marking up python code
in examples. I'd like all the examples in the tutorial to have corresponding
unit tests. The unit tests you added have been very helpful for development,
and I would like to add more and have them organized and linked into numpy's
unit testing framework.

I announced at scipy once before and got a few comments. I'd like to wait a
little while longer before posting there again, to make sure we think the
interface makes sense, the package is more thoroughly tested and optimized,
and there is enough documentation available so people with limited time can
come away with a favorable first impression. That may take a little while
yet.
