A Wiki page is a good idea.  I suggest we start with a small initial set of
packages; a project with too ambitious a scope might end in the same way as
PEP 206, which never really went anywhere.  Pick an application area or two
and focus on them.  The math/science proposal implies that we should focus
on education and on numeric stuff.

Probably we need all of them in order to support various applications. I
don't think GUI development tools such as Glade are necessary; they're
probably off-topic for now.

Also probably off-topic, unless they're needed for an application.

Again, limit it to educational applications.

Docs are easy to include, so include everything that's legal to include.
