Hi Mainak,

Thanks for the response. All tests are passing.

In terms of the rst discussion, I suggest removing...

1. A Unix (Linux or Mac OS) box: MNE command line utilities and
Freesurfer that are required to make the best out of this toolbox
require a Unix platform.

from contributing.rst and adding a warning about .ICEauthority at the
end of...

Note that the first time this is run, the mne-python sample dataset
(~1.2 GB) will be downloaded to the root directory and extracted. This
is necessary for running some of the tests and nearly all of the examples.

I would not version control large binary data files and continue to
gitignore them.

-Kevin
