Do you have a sense of how serious the conflicts are?  I've marked
Gael's branch and my testing one 'for merge' so we can easily see the
differences.

And will you be attending SciPy?  It seems Brian will be there, and so
will Gael and Stefan, so we may have a bunch of people simultaneously
available to discuss and hack (and anyone else on the list who will
make it to scipy is obviously welcome!).

Cheers,
