My introduction to NumPy community

Hello, My name is Arpita Dash and I'm an Outreachy Applicant. I'm a CSE undergraduate. I am interested in contributing to the Numpy project "Improve C API documentation for Numpy." I am looking forward to working with Numpy and contributing to the community. Regards, Arpita Dash

Welcome to you both. 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 me directly if you have any questions. The issues themselves are also a good place to ask for specific guidance. Best Regards, Matti
