Any chance of retiring Lena from Sampledoc background?

I noticed just now that sampledoc:

http://matplotlib.org/sampledoc/index.html

uses Lena for the top banner lettering background. It would be good to change that for the usual reasons (questionable taste, copyright). Is that acceptable?

I don't see any problem with that; but at the same time, I'm amazed you even spotted it, given how obscure it is by being just that background, and how inactive sampledoc itself is. Larger question: how much of sampledoc is out of date now? How useful is it?

[matthew-brett]

I seem to hit that page fairly often because I'm a big user of the plot_directive.

I can't seem to raise google.com at the moment, but a DuckDuckGo search of "matplotlib sphinx" gives http://matplotlib.org/sampledoc/extensions.html as the top hit.

Done in #15

I notice Lena is still there, in current http://matplotlib.org/sampledoc - does anything else need doing to complete this task?

Looks like it's coming from https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.github.com/tree/master/sampledoc which contains a manual build (from 2013 by the looks of it). I guess that just needs to be rebuild and pushed

[tacaswell]

I will do that when I get to a non-mobile internet connection.

[matthew-brett]

I did some cleanup here : https://github.com/matplotlib/sampledoc/pull/17 - maybe merge before rebuilding?

[tacaswell]

Done, should be live when ever all of the caches clear (which is longer now that we have cloudflare involved).

If it is not gone by tonight re-ping (and I'll try to remember to check).

[tacaswell]

Sorry, I didn't see @matthew-brett 's last message before I did the rebuild and push.

[matthew-brett]

Lena's fully retired from my check just now.
