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!

Warren
