Thanks! I was getting at something quite similar, actually. Since I'm generally interested in scientific computing, I will gladly sign on and help in whatever way I can in both projects.

I like the idea, and looking at your mock-ups, I've got more ideas. I'll put them down and run them by you if that's OK.. :)

Of course... I basically had this idea in my head, and I just put it down without really researching. My fault, I guess, but I just wanted to get it down before I forgot any of it...

I spent the morning reading through the archives of scipy and ipython, and I find a lot of things I like. I'll come on board ASAP :)
