Hey peeps,
After talking with Matt at some length about the yt documentation, we thought it might be a good idea to have a documentation sprint in a few months when we've moved over to yt 3.0 as the focus of our development. The docs in general are good, but there are some gaps here and there with some functionality not present in the documentation. I'm not proposing an entire (or even partial) rewrite of the docs, as I think that would be counterproductive. I'm simply thinking we could fill in the holes to make sure all of the cool stuff in yt is written up so people know how to use it.
Now, I know doc writing is not often fun, but I think this could be really beneficial to our user base, and actually cut down on the amount of time we have to respond to new users on the mailing list and irc (as well as making it easier for people to use yt).
What I'm asking from you is if you encounter something that you don't think is well documented in the formal docs (not simply the docstrings), could you take a moment to create a bitbucket issue about it? You don't even have to fix it then, just note it, so we know where to work when we do the sprint in a few months.
Anyone else have any other ideas about this?

Can we make all docstrings self-consistent while we're touching documentation throughout the whole project? I know that involves code duplication in many cases but from my POV it has two advantages: being copy'n'pasteable and it would greatly increase the code coverage in tests.
Cheers, Kacper
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea!

Hi Cameron et al,
This is a very good idea. Cameron, I think you would be well-suited to being a documentation steward for yt -- not in terms of writing it, but helping to ensure that the coverage remains high and that features aren't simply forgotten about as they are submitted.
As for a sprint, I would be very keen to have one, and at the time when development switches over would be a perfect one. Since there's some clustering of yt devs recently, what we could try for is semi-remote sprints. Anybody that wanted to come to Columbia, I'd buy pizza for and we could all write in the same room. Interested participants that are clustered at other institutions could work together, too, and the groups could meet over IRC/Hangouts.
But yes, let's aim for this. Perhaps sometime in October or November? Or is that too soon?

That sounds great to me! I'll happily be the doc steward. I like the idea of small local sprints. It's too bad I didn't go to the AGORA thing this weekend, as we could do one there. Oh well. But yes, October/November sounds like a great time to do this. Perhaps we can do one the next time I come to NYC too.

Hi Cameron et al,
This is a very good idea. Cameron, I think you would be well-suited to being a documentation steward for yt -- not in terms of writing it, but helping to ensure that the coverage remains high and that features aren't simply forgotten about as they are submitted.
As for a sprint, I would be very keen to have one, and at the time when development switches over would be a perfect one. Since there's some clustering of yt devs recently, what we could try for is semi-remote sprints. Anybody that wanted to come to Columbia, I'd buy pizza for and we could all write in the same room. Interested participants that are clustered at other institutions could work together, too, and the groups could meet over IRC/Hangouts.
But yes, let's aim for this. Perhaps sometime in October or November? Or is that too soon?

Hey peeps,
After talking with Matt at some length about the yt documentation, we thought it might be a good idea to have a documentation sprint in a few months when we've moved over to yt 3.0 as the focus of our development. The docs in general are good, but there are some gaps here and there with some functionality not present in the documentation. I'm not proposing an entire (or even partial) rewrite of the docs, as I think that would be counterproductive. I'm simply thinking we could fill in the holes to make sure all of the cool stuff in yt is written up so people know how to use it.
Now, I know doc writing is not often fun, but I think this could be really beneficial to our user base, and actually cut down on the amount of time we have to respond to new users on the mailing list and irc (as well as making it easier for people to use yt).
What I'm asking from you is if you encounter something that you don't think is well documented in the formal docs (not simply the docstrings), could you take a moment to create a bitbucket issue about it? You don't even have to fix it then, just note it, so we know where to work when we do the sprint in a few months.
Anyone else have any other ideas about this?

Alright, seeing as how there's a push for the first couple, why don't we plan on a mini-sprint on the 7th and 8th of October? Those able to come up to Columbia are welcome, as I mentioned before, and those who can't, we'll be hanging out in IRC or Hangouts as well.

Hello again,
I misread Jeff's email. John can only do the first two, Jeff can only do the latter two. So that leaves the middle set is the only one we can do. So let's do the same thing, but October 28 and 29.

Oh good. I'll potentially be in NYC around that time, so I can sprint in person. Thanks for getting these dates set up, Matt.

Hi all,
This came up on my news feed today: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2013/09/teach-dont-tell/
I think there's a lot to be gleaned from it that could help improve yt's documentation.
