OK first version:
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/GSoC-2016-project-ideas
I kept some of the ideas from last year, but removed all potential mentors
as the same people may not be available this year - please re-add

And to everyone who has a good idea, and preferably is willing to mentor
for that idea: please add it to that page.
