I support making the website clearer.

W.r.t. Joe's concern: if we spell out "scientific Python ecosystem" as we've been doing recently, and use "SciPy library", it's fairly easy to disambiguate.

It may also be worth clarifying our position in/relative to "PyData", which thus far has stood mostly for industry applications of the same ecosystem.

We also own https://scientific-python.org, even though that domain is not currently in use.
