I think it's great to have some rough goal posts set out for 1.0. 

Regardless of exactly what 1.0 means, by making a giant todo

list you've made contributing to SciPy much more appealing - 

it now feels like there is a targeted effort to tidy the whole 

project up, and I for one would like to be a part of it.

My name is James Booth and I'm a Comp Sci PhD student. 

I'm part of a team at Imperial College London that is leaning 

heavily on Scipy for our research - I'll take a look through the list in 

detail and see if I can't help out in some way.
