which would complement the direct null hypothesis tests which will
hopefully be obvious by version DE-V0.03 in DEplotcorrnall...

yep, nice

well, to be more precise, data analysis of *some* statistics of cmb
anisotropy data (e.g. the C_l spectrum), I don't imagine you're analysing
cmb data (maps) itself...?

Well, maybe we could use a more modest term, e.g. "a more balanced
observational cosmology research startup kit" ?

OK, in my way of thinking it would be good to think of the documentation
including links to good introductory URLs on the subject, like Wayne
Hu's pages, so that the whole package is more usable by beginners
and that the whole learning/research process can become more open
and accessible to students.

Great!
