[AstroPy] Start for contribution

[Zé Vinícius]

Hi Nimit,

That's great you want to contribute to AstroPy!

Most of astropy's code contributions happen on GitHub:
https://www.github.com/astropy/astropy

Therefore, before anything else, I strongly recommend you to take a deep
look at the AstroPy's development workflow:
http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/development/workflow/development_workflow.html

This serves as a thorough guide for both very beginners and advanced
contributors and it's applicable not only to astropy, but to basically
every project that uses git as its version control system.

If you are already acquainted with git and GitHub, I suggest you to take an
overview of the code base to see what mostly attracts your interest.
Besides, you might want to take a look at issues labeled as
"package-novice" (
https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3APackage-novice).
Usually, those are easier to solve, which may help you to get familiar with
the contribution workflow.

Another big part of the AstroPy community is the affiliated packages. I'm
not gonna get into details on this, but affiliated packages are basically
like any other project, except they focus on more specialized features and
tools (everything build on top of astropy). You can check out a list of
those here: http://www.astropy.org/affiliated.

Also, don't forget to take a look at the astropy documention:
http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/

Have a nice coding =)
