Nicolas,

It is great to see that you have made some progress with glumpy!  It is my
hope that after the effort I have been making to refactorng the Axes class
that I would then move on to studying glumpy to see how to bring that work
into matplotlib.  It is certainly will not be trivial.  I like the idea of
making it into a GSoC project.  Maybe we can get NumFOCUS to support that
effort?

Cheers!
