Hi all, For those who did not see the call on the NumFOCUS list, the below may be of interest.
I also have a proposal idea: a redesign of numpy.org. Our website is very poor, both in terms of content and design. If a good designer spends 40 hours on it, that should be enough to change it into something nice (or at least not embarassing). What do you think? Other ideas?
