I am definitely open to working on Numpy first, my only hesitation was that it might be hard to get spun up, and scipy seemed like something I could slice off and do (some of) by myself without accidentally conflicting with ongoing development efforts.
If, as your replies have indicated, Numpy isn't being very actively developed, and it would be easy to get caught up and avoid conflicting with other developers, then I'd be glad to help there instead of independently trying to get scipy going.
I believe the reason is that they prefer to focus the development
effort into the more "basic" Numpy and from that go on. Numpy is not
fully implemented
I am working (actually, right now I am only in the "thinking" state)
on some modules of NumPy, maybe we could coordinate and give this a
boost.
