Thanks Matt, that's awesome. No worries about lack of SciPy experience - if
you were to co-mentor with a SciPy core dev then your expertise on the math
side can be very helpful.

I've just added your name and mine to the scipy.diff idea. Our ideas page
now looks pretty good; more ideas still welcome of course.

Cheers,
Ralf
