I am wondering what needs to happen before a 1.0 release of both numpy and scipy?

For a 1.0 release of numpy:

In terms of features. The only thing I see as necessary is that array scalars have their own math defined so that they don't go through the full ufunc machinery. This is probably about 20-40 hours of work.

I would also like to see a numcompat module that allows numarray users to compile their C-extensions with a simple include file change. Also, a convert_numarraycode.py module would be useful for converting Python code.

Mostly, though, I would like to see more people using NumPy in different circumstances so that we get the bugs worked out and needed C-API changes before going to 1.0. This is the process that may take several months as I see it.
