Hi folks, I've just created a page on the numpy wiki: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Numpy-BoF-at-Scipy-2014 I'd appreciate it if people could put down on that page the title of topics, plus a brief summary (with links to this or other relevant threads), they'd like to see discussed. BoFs

It sounds like there is a lot to discuss come July and I am sure there will be others "willing" to voice their opinions as well. The primary goal in all of this would be to have a constructive discussion concerning the future of NumPy, do you guys have a feeling for what might be the most effectiv

I won't be able to make it at scipy this year sadly. I concur with Nathaniel that we can do a lot of things without a full rewrite -- it is all too easy to see what is gained with a rewrite and lose sight of what is lost. I have yet to see a really strong argument for a full rewrite. It may be eas

I will be at the conference as will Mark Wiebe for at least part of the time. Others from the Blaze team like Andy Terrel and Matthew Rocklin will also be available at least part of the time (so it depends on when the BoF is). I'm sure they will all have opinions about this. I would be happy t
