Just a suggestion. All these ideas sounds like a "google code-in" task.

http://code.google.com/intl/pt-BR/opensource/gci/2010-11/

I do not know if "Matplotlib" participated in the past, if not take a
look of last years sympy task list:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GCI-2011-Task-list

If the ideas for the gallery improvement are break down to some simple
tasks like that you guys could use Google code-in to do it.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
