We should be a mentoring organization for next summer.
The organization application period is coming up in a few months
(http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2015), and if we
are going to do this we need to have a list of viable projects for a
summer student. I suspect that these will have to have a balance
between importance (to justify doing it) and shiny-ness (to get
students to _want_ to do it).
Thing that comes to my mind immediately
- work on implementing what ever comes out of
- The laundry list of work on 3D plotting enhancements
We should be a mentoring organization for next summer.
well, maybe. A few years ago Google shifted to preferring fewer, larger,
mentoring organizations. So python projects have tended to be handled under
the PSF-sponsored organization.
Or we could go half-way, and have a numfocus one..

It's a good idea to develop this list regardless of the sponsoring
organization structure.
