Collection of Questions for Explanations

Hi Mentors , In the last Docs meeting , we discussed about Explanations and ways we could use to gather relevant topics for which we could provide explanations . The light was shed upon mining of questions firstly from numpy communities via Discussion like groups , then move to other sources . We can mine such topics from the NumPy community via mining email threads of numpy-discussion@python.org for Questions . Apart from doing this I am thinking of opening an issue , the track of which will be kept by me and other contributors if they wish . We can write relevant topics for explanations over there . The link to this issue can be shared with numpy-discussion@python.org and other NumPy community forums , where contributors can comment their questions or queries which they wish to get documented . This way we can avoid multiple Github issues by using one Github issue , moreover this issue will populate queries from the community which will be visible to everyone and may give rise to ideas regarding explanations which we haven't thought about , in fact we can close other such issues later by moving their queries to this issue . In this manner we can have enough data within a month or two to document an Explanations page . Then we could frame explanations from this pool of data in this single Github issue , Do suggest your ideas/advice for the following and also if we should be doing something else . Thanks , Mrinal Tyagi

Sounds like a good idea, Mrinal! Make sure to tag it with DOC and mention that it's a tracking issue in the description. Cheers, Melissa Em sex, 10 de jul de 2020 02:59, Saber Tooth <sabertooth2022@gmail.com> escreveu:

Thanks Melissa , I have opened the issue , but am not able to add labels to it as currently i don't have 'write' access in the org ! I think we can share this issue in the NumPy sprint to gather some data from there . what do you think? On Fri, 10 Jul 2020 at 20:49, Melissa Mendonça <melissawm@gmail.com> wrote:

Here is the issue https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/16801 that i have opened , I request the required access rights to add labels to it . Moreover I have added this topic in the NumPy sprint https://hackmd.io/r4pcf4CQRMOUY2VXOWk5_Q so that contributors can use it to submit their queries/doubts . I also request you to share this github issue with the other NumPy discussion forums that I may not be aware of so that everyone knows about it and everyone can do their bit in helping us mine Explanations .
