Hi all,
It's time to start preparing for this year's Google Summer of Code. There is actually one urgent thing to be done (before 19.00 UTC today), which is to get our ideas page in decent shape. It doesn't have to be final, but there has to be enough on there for the organizers to judge it. This page is here: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/GSoC-project-ideas. I'll be reworking it and linking it from the PSF page today, but if you already have new ideas please add them there. See https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/OrgIdeasPageTemplate for this year's template for adding a new idea.
The ideas page is now in pretty good shape. More ideas are very welcome though, especially easy or easy/intermediate ideas. Numpy right now has zero easy ones and Scipy only one and a half.
We could add a benchmark project for numpy that would build off the work Pauli is doing in Scipy. That would be easy to intermediate I think, as the programming bits might be easy, but coming up with the benchmarks would be more difficult.
we already have decent set of benchmarks in yaroslavs setup: http://yarikoptic.github.io/numpy-vbench/
Are you suggesting that we <del>steal</del> copy those (my thought), or that we don't need a project? I note that Pauli is using Air Speed Velocity instead of vbench. Chuck
