It's great that you think in that way :)
It's great to have new developers in the team, we'd love you to join us.

We don't have a clear idea about how we are going to implement the numeric
stuff. In the beggining I thought about GSL, but they are HUGE! and they
include a lot of not needed features (IMHO). I may happen that all what we
need is already in Numerical Python. The only thing they may not have, is
a non-linear fitting algorithm, but we need to investigate a little
bit. What I have in mind for the non-linear/custom fittings is something
similar to Origin: and iterative algorithm, and an interactive dialog.
A plugin system is an interesting idea, can you be more specific and tell
us what you have in mind? How would you implement it?
BTW, I am forwarding this message to the SG list, in a way that all the
subscribers can debate and contribute with new ideas. It's also good to
have a consensus with the other developers (Conrad). I suggest you to
subscribe if you are planning to be part of the project. And let me
say: Bienvenidos!
Saludos,
