Hi, I'm Aishwarya Dash, an applicant for Outreachy. I am quite interested to work on the documentation for Numpy, and I would really appreciate guidelines on how to contribute to the docs and what ideas I should work on in order to make my application better.
I'm not a numpy dev, but I think you should start here: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/dev/ And then look at the Github issues, and search the tags for something along the lines of "documentation" & "good first issue" / "beginner friendly" -paul On Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 10:37 AM Aishwarya Dash <dashaishwarya.28@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello and welcome. To get you started it would be great if you can try to work on an issue in numpy and create a pull request (PR) to fix it. That way we can get to know you a bit and you get to know numpy and our workflow. New contributors might find it easiest to work on the documentation tag/label, you can see them via: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+doc+label%3A%22... Some relevant issues (note some of these may already have someone interested in them): https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/13013 which probably someone is already working on https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/13114 which can be broken into a number of smaller PRs https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/12632 https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/12385 and https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/12097 which is a wip to add a version selector. This is a pure javascript issue. Our workflow is based on github, for an introduction see http://www.numpy.org/devdocs/dev/gitwash/development_workflow.html. For instructions on building the documentation, which uses sphinx, see, http://www.numpy.org/devdocs/docs/index.html?highlight=documentation I hope you can find something to get you started. Try to work through the process and reach out when you get stuck with specific questions: "I tried X, expected Y, but got Z". Feel free to reach out to Sebastian or me directly if you have any questions. The issues themselves are also a good place to ask for specific guidance. Best Regards, Matti
