As I said in the initial thread: I didn't just plan to dump the code
here and leave, I am willing to maintain tensor support in the
foreseeable future. (Obviously, I can't promise anything for the distant

then I will continue working on it and making it more useful for more
Naturally, you can't promise anything for the distant future -- if all
goes well, by that point the code is stable, well-documented and has a
big-enough user base to keep it maintained :)
generic applications. First goal would probably be to construct
expression templates so that assignments, binary operations (+, -) and
scalar multiplication work. (Which means basically just copying and
adjusting Eigen's current logic for matrices/vectors.)
Yes, having some actual tensor functionality besides
data-holding/accessing would definitely be good ;) I don't know, what
maturity level we require before integration.
I guess you mostly need to wait if any objections arise. (I'm also not
sure who is considered "core-developer" at the moment ...)
And of course, people who use it already should make suggestions or
contribute (API-changes, feature requests, ...). And people who plan to
use it should try it out.
