As another long time lurker I would also support everything Neil said.
I also wanted to add the point, that what stops me recommending scipy more widely to my colleagues is not that there is not enough code in it - it is that it is not stable enough to rely on for their work. That is perhaps a bit harsh, but I am sure that the first time one of my colleagues lost 1/2 a day because of a scipy bug (as I have done quite a few times) they would be back to MATLAB.
So I would agree with Stefan and the others that the priority is not getting more code in per se, but improving the quality and frequency of releases to get a platform whose stability compares with MATLAB before adding more stuff.
