Do any of you have suggestions for issues we could work on? I'd love
to hear any suggestions.

One option would be to suggest that each interested participant open the SciPy issues and PRs list, and then sub-select based on the `label` corresponding to a submodule they might be interested in. That way people will gravitate toward domains where they have knowledge and feel comfortable, and it cuts down on the number of issues they need to look at (because we have so many).

And of course there is also the "good first issue" label, which can be useful even if it's inconsistently applied.

One of those issues is https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/7168. There are hundreds of function in the library that do not have an "Examples" section. It would be great to bring that number down. Adding some examples could be a good way to get folks started with the SciPy development work flow (building the library, building the docs, and making pull requests). If you pursue this, be sure that everyone is aware of PEP 8 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) and knows where to find the docstring standard (https://numpydoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/format.html#docstring-standard).

Have fun!

As for any specific issues, I can't think of any offhand.
