If you or someone else has time, he should definitely prepare an
application! For a start we need to convince them that the
proposed project has an immense effect as in it "will make the
world a better place". So projects that will have a huge user
base like e.g. Ilya's generic Blas qualify for this. Has anyone
better ideas?
