Wisdom of the crowd

This week, GSoC started with the "community bonding" phase. I already feel pretty bonded with my software community (in fact I constitute 1/3 of it), so I use the time to reach out to the larger neuroimaging community regarding one of the first issues I want to address:

What is the best way to distribute the Python version of CBS Tools?

I have previously discussed this question with my mentors and other colleagues, and one suggestion that came up is to deploy the tools via Docker. In order to find out what neuroimaging folks think about docker I have started discussion threads on neurostars and in the brainhack slack team.

I know very little about docker myself, so I also started watching some tutorials. Whether we end up using it or not, my feeling is it won’t hurt in the future to know a thing or two about docker.
