[This is a complete tangent, and so I apologize in advance.] We are considering applying to GSOC for Bokeh. However, I have zero experience with GSOC, but non-zero questions (e.g. go it alone, vs apply through PSF... I think?) If anyone with experience from the mentoring organization side of things wouldn't mind a quick chat (or a few emails) to answer questions, share your experience, or offer advice, please drop me a line directly. Thanks, Bryan

care to elaborate on that one?
I know it come up on here that it would be good to have some code in numpy itself that made it easier to make array-like objects (I.e. do indexing the same way) Is that what you mean?
I was thinking particularly of improving the compatibility of numpy functions (e.g., concatenate) with non-numpy array-like objects, but now that you mention it utilities to make it easier to make array-like objects could also be a good thing.
In any case, I've now elaborated on my thought into a full project idea on the Wiki: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/GSoC-2016-project-ideas#improved-duck-ty...
Arguably, this might be too difficult for most GSoC students -- the API design questions here are quite contentious. But given that "Pythonic dtypes" is up there as a GSoC proposal still it's in good company.
Cheers, Stephan
