[matplotlib-devel] google summer of code student

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

We should be a mentoring organization for next summer.

The organization application period is coming up in a few months
(http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2015), and if we
are going to do this we need to have a list of viable projects for a
summer student.  I suspect that these will have to have a balance
between importance (to justify doing it) and shiny-ness (to get
students to _want_ to do it).

Thing that comes to my mind immediately

  - work on implementing what ever comes out of
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/3424
  - The laundry list of work on 3D plotting enhancements

well, maybe. A few years ago Google shifted to preferring fewer, larger,
mentoring organizations. So python projects have tended to be handled under
the PSF-sponsored organization.

Or we could go half-way, and have a numfocus one..

It's a good idea to develop this list regardless of the sponsoring
organization structure.

We should ask the scikit-image devs how they managed it last summer as I
think they had at least one student.

Didn't Numpy have a student, too?
