Hi Surya, it's definitely possible I think. And a good idea. Improving
SciPy Central meets the requirements for a project set by Google and you've
already met the requirement of submitting at least one patch before
applying.

I would encourage you to start working on a proposal, and discuss it on
this list. Maybe you've seen this already, but just in case:

The other thing to do is find a mentor. We have several people that
indicated that they'd like to be a mentor this year, maybe one of those
people is interested in SPC? Or other people on the list?

Cheers,
Ralf
