+Potential project list
+======================
+
+This is a list of projects that are interesting for potential contributors
+who are seriously interested in the PyPy project. They mostly share common
+patterns - they're mid-to-large in size, they're usually well defined as
+a standalone projects and they're not being actively worked on. For small
+projects that you might want to work on, it's much better to either look
+at the `issue tracker`_, pop up on #pypy on irc.freenode.net or write to the
+`mailing list`_. This is simply for the reason that small possible projects
+tend to change very rapidly.
+
+Numpy improvements
+------------------
+
+This is more of a project-container than a single project. Possible ideas:
+
+* experiment with auto-vectorization using SSE or implement vectorization
+  without automatically detecting it for array operations.
+
+* improve numpy, for example implement memory views.
+
+* interface with fortran/C libraries.
