A lightning talk would be fantastic. I have already urged Stefan to give
one about the numpy documentation editor
http://sd-2116.dedibox.fr/pydocweb/wiki/Front%20Page/

Maybe we could combine two talks taking half the time of a full talk,
with Stefan talking about the webapp, and someone from MPL talking about
this. It would make a great, consistent, view on the current
documentation efforts in scientific Python, and I bet people would be
interested, maybe to bring the ideas back home on their own projects.

Of course, I am speaking on a personal basis, and I can't speak for the
rest of the organizing committee, but this sounds very nice.

Cheers,
