Thanks you two. Well, I got scipy installed and got git set up. Now I'm real confused about what I can do. Documentation is one of them, which I will want to do once I become more familiar with the software. But as far as coding goes, I'm not sure what needs to be done. Is there anyplace I can go with a to-do list of things which needs to be done? I looked around and haven't found anything like that so far.

Hi Kai,

I have never worked on an open source project before so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. But I'm real excited about doing this. I have an advanced degree in mathematics and an emphasis on mathematical physics. I love numerical analysis and coding so I'm real excited about joining the SciPy team. At some point, once I get a handle on things, I will like to contribute to the documentation as well. I guess I will hang out, figure out what's going on, read the archives, and check out the source code. Real excited about this!

Regards,
Kai

Welcome to the scipy community !

As a newcommer into the community, you are actually in the best position to tell us what's missing for people like you who want to start contributing (FAQ, documents, etc…)

cheers,

David
