TBD - Numpy code/infrastructure work Some initial plans were discussed and documented during the first Numpy developer meeting at Scipy'15. See wiki page [1] and meeting minutes [2]. Funding for facilitating more developer meetings (~1 a year) is definitely on the radar. Plans for funding development of new features or other code/infrastructure work are still fuzzy (except for MingwPy, see my email of today on that). We need to transfer the relevant part of those meeting minutes [2] into the docs, and expand upon those to get a clear roadmap online that we can build on. This is work for the next months I think.
