[Numpy-discussion] NEP 44 - Restructuring the NumPy Documentation

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all,

Please see the NEP below for a proposal to restructure the documentation of
NumPy. The main goal here is to make the documentation more visible and
organized, and also make contributions easier.

Comments and feedback are welcome!


See https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/15554 for details.

Best,

Melissa



NEP 44 — Restructuring the NumPy Documentation

Authors: Ralf Gommers, Melissa Mendonça, Mars Lee
Status: Draft
Type: Process
Created: 2020-02-11

Abstract
==

This document proposes a restructuring of the NumPy Documentation, both in
form and content, with the goal of making it more organized and
discoverable for beginners and experienced users.

Motivation and Scope
=

See [here](numpy.org/devdocs) for the front page of the latest docs. The
organization is quite confusing and illogical (e.g. user and developer docs
are mixed). We propose the following:

- Reorganizing the docs into the four categories mentioned in [1];
- Creating dedicated sections for Tutorials and How-Tos, including
orientation on how to create new content;
- Adding an Explanations section for key concepts and techniques that
require deeper descriptions, some of which will be rearranged from the
Reference Guide.

Usage and Impact
==

The documentation is a fundamental part of any software project, especially
open source projects. In the case of NumPy, many beginners might feel
demotivated by the current structure of the documentation, since it is
difficult to discover what to learn (unless the user has a clear view of
what to look for in the Reference docs, which is not always the case).

Looking at the results of a “NumPy Tutorial” search on any search engine
also gives an idea of the demand for this kind of content. Having official
high-level documentation written using up-to-date content and techniques
will certainly mean more users (and developers/contributors) are involved
in the NumPy community.

Backward compatibility
==

The restructuring will effectively demand a complete rewrite of links and
some of the current content. Input from the community will be useful for
identifying key links and pages that should not be broken.

Detailed description
===

As discussed in the article [1], there are four categories of doc content:
- Tutorials
- How-to guides
- Explanations
- Reference guide

We propose to use those categories as the ones we use (for writing and
reviewing) whenever we add a new documentation section.

The reasoning for this is that it is clearer both for
developers/documentation writers and to users where each information should
go, and the scope and tone of each document. For example, if explanations
are mixed with basic tutorials, beginners might be overwhelmed and
alienated. On the other hand, if the reference guide contains basic
how-tos, it might be difficult for experienced users to find the
information they need, quickly.

Currently, there are many blogs and tutorials on the internet about NumPy
or using NumPy. One of the issues with this is that if users search for
this information and end up in an outdated (unofficial) tutorial before
they find the current official documentation, they end up creating content
that is confusing, especially for beginners. Having a better infrastructure
for the documentation also aims to solve this problem by giving users
high-level, up-to-date official documentation that can be easily updated.

Status and ideas of each type of doc content


* Reference guide

NumPy has a quite complete reference guide. All functions are documented,
most have examples, and most are cross-linked well with See Also sections.
Further improving the reference guide is incremental work that can be done
(and is being done) by many people. There are, however, many explanations
in the reference guide. These can be moved to a more dedicated Explanations
section on the docs.

* How-to guides

NumPy does not have many how-to’s. The subclassing and array ducktyping
section may be an example of a how-to. Others that could be added are:
- Parallelization (controlling BLAS multithreading with threadpoolctl,
using multiprocessing, random number generation, etc.)
- Storing and loading data (.npy/.npz format, text formats, Zarr, HDF5,
Bloscpack, etc.)
- Performance (memory layout, profiling, use with Numba, Cython, or Pythran)
- Writing generic code that works with NumPy, Dask, CuPy, pydata/sparse,
etc.

* Explanations

There is a reasonable amount of content on fundamental NumPy concepts such
as indexing, vectorization, broadcasting, (g)ufuncs, and dtypes. This could
be organized better and clarified to ensure it’s really about explaining
the concepts and not mixed with tutorial or how-to like content.

There are few explanations about anything other than those fundamental
NumPy concepts.

Some examples of concepts that could be expanded:
- Copies vs. Views;
- BLAS and other

[Numpy-discussion] Proposal to accept NEP #44: Restructuring the NumPy Documentation

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all,

I am proposing the acceptance of NEP 44 - Restructuring the NumPy
Documentation.

https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0044-restructuring-numpy-docs.html

There were some comments about reorganizing the text to make it clearer,
and some rewording regarding Reference Guides, developer "under-the-hoods"
documentation and the possible mechanism for community contributions in the
form of new tutorials or how-tos. Overall I believe we have answered all
comments and there were no other points of concern.

If there are no substantive objections within 7 days from this email,
then the NEP will be accepted; see NEP 0 for more details:
see http://www.numpy.org/neps/nep-.html

Thanks for the comments! Looking forward to start working on this :)

[Numpy-discussion] Documentation Team Meetings - all are welcome!

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello all,

As part of NumPy's recent focus on documentation writing and improvement
(see NEP 44), we are proposing a regular meeting for the Documentation Team
to discuss possible content, ideas and general planning. A small group had
been participating in these meetings (which started as part of the Google
Season of Docs project) but the idea is to recruit more people who might be
interested in documentation writing and the creation of educational
materials using NumPy.

For now, the meetings will take place every three weeks, on mondays 3PM
UTC. If you wish to join on Zoom, you need to use this link

https://zoom.us/j/420005230

Here's the permanent hackmd document with the meeting notes:

[Numpy-discussion] Google Season of Docs Ideas

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello all,

As some of you may know, we are aiming to participate in the Google Season
of Docs program [1] again this year. The deadline for applications from
open source organizations is May 4, so I've started on a proposal (heavily
based on last year's version) here:

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2020-Project-Ideas

If you have suggestions, especially for concrete project ideas, that would
be great. Also, keep in mind this project is aimed at technical writers and
not developers, so the focus should be mainly on
writing/reviewing/organizing documentation content.

Cheers,

Melissa

Hello Hmrishav,

Indeed our preference as an organization is to have someone with technical
writing experience, although it doesn't have to be on a professional level.
I'd recommend joining numpy-scipy-g...@googlegroups.com for more
information on this year's program.

[Numpy-discussion] Google Season of Docs proposals and information

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello all, especially those who recently joined and are interested in our
Google Season of Docs projects.

It is great to hear from you!

For now, all the information you need about the program is in the official
GSoD website (https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs), and in our
proposal (
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2020-Project-Ideas).


If you are interested, I would advise working on the following:

- Familiarizing yourself with the NumPy docs and the workflow for building
them (https://numpy.org/devdocs/dev/howto-docs.html)
- Reading NEP 44 to have an idea of the current vision and focus for the
docs (https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0044-restructuring-numpy-docs.html)
- Working on your own proposal, so we can analyze it later.

You have until June 8 to do this, and if you need help or have questions
about any of the above, please get in touch so we can help. Make sure you
get in touch with the mentors directly by sending your message to
numpy-scipy-g...@googlegroups.com .

I would also recomment that you attend our Documentation Team meeting
taking place next Monday, May 18, at 3PM UTC (more details in a separate
message to follow shortly).

Welcome!

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Some details related to project ideas for GSoD 2020

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Apoorva!

While there are no specific restrictions from google on who can join the
program, NumPy is looking for people with some experience with technical
writing and/or previous experience with NumPy. Since we already have an
"Absolute Beginners" tutorial, we would appreciate if the projects
submitted could cover other content levels as well.

Best,

Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Guidelines for NumPy tutorials

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all,

Thanks for the PR, Ben.

Note that this is in the numpy-tutorials repo, which is a new repo created
to specifically host Jupyter notebook tutorials for NumPy users. It is
still not in its final form.

One of the questions around this PR is where this style guide should live:
in the main documentation or in the numpy-tutorials repo?

If you have thoughts on this, please share.

Best,

- Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] About the apply in GSoD

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello Christian,

Thanks for your interest in our Google Season of Docs projects. It is great
to hear from you!

If you are interested, I would advise working on the following:

- Familiarizing yourself with the NumPy docs and the workflow for building
them (https://numpy.org/devdocs/dev/howto-docs.html)
- Reading NEP 44 to have an idea of the current vision and focus for the
docs (https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0044-restructuring-numpy-docs.html)
- Working on your own proposal, so we can analyze it later.

You have until July 8 to do this, and if you need help or have questions
about any of the above, please get in touch so we can help. Make sure you
get in touch with the mentors directly by sending your message to
numpy-scipy-g...@googlegroups.com . Any information you need about the
program is in the official GSoD website (
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs), and in our proposal (
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2020-Project-Ideas).


Welcome!

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Google Summer of Docs Faq and Tutorial Proposed Structure .

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello Mrinal,

That is indeed something we are looking at. Feel free to join the
discussion at the documentation meeting on Monday, or here if you'd like. I
don't think Ben has opened an issue or PR about this yet, but if he does
the link will surely be at the hackmd document for the docs meeting (here:
https://hackmd.io/oB_boakvRqKR-_2jRV-Qjg)

About contributing, you can start by issues that you feel are interesting
to you, or even opening new ones, such as
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/15760 and
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/15793, for example. If you need help
you can tag me on the specific issue and I'll try to answer to the best of
my abilities.

About the GSoD proposal, keep in mind that the period for the evaluation of
projects starts on July 9. We've had a large number of people interested in
the project, so there are no guarantees at this point that your project
will be chosen. If you want to work on your project anyway, feel free!

Best,

- Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Collection of Questions for Explanations

Sounds like a good idea, Mrinal! Make sure to tag it with DOC and mention
that it's a tracking issue in the description.

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Discussion around How-to ,Tutorials.

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Mrinal

Yes, we are having our meeting on monday (more information in a message
still to come).

Right now, our idea of what tutorials and how-tos are comes from Daniele
Procida [1] (detailed in NEP 44 [2]). However, I believe the discussion
around exactly what we will cover or try to achieve in each kind of
document is not finished. In fact, we are still learning how to organize
this.

Feel free to add a topic in the meeting notes for the Documentation Meeting
[3] so we can discuss this on monday.

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Announcing 2020 Google Season of Docs Technical Writers for NumPy

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello all,

I'm pleased to announce that NumPy was awarded two slots in the Google
Season of Docs program (you can see the full results here:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants).

The selected projects are

- "NumPy Documentation for Community Education", by Ryan Cooper (Proposal:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants/project-numpy-cooperrc
)


- "High level restructuring and end user focus", by kubedoc (Proposal:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants/project-numpy-kubedoc
)

We appreciate all projects that were submitted and thank all participants
for their efforts in putting together their proposals. Also, if you wish to
contribute documentation to NumPy on a volunteer basis, you are welcome to
do so!

Cheers,

- Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Attempting to wrap a Fortran-77 subroutine using f2py but I haven't been able to understand what is causing the error

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Sam, sorry for taking so long to answer!

The problem seems to be that you are using

cf2py depend(in) Y, YP

instead of

cf2py depend(n) Y, YP <- (note that there was a spurious i in that depend
expression)

and that the callback FCN needs the dimension n as an argument. I was able
to compile your code correctly after making these changes.

If you have any further questions let me know, I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Attempting to wrap a Fortran-77 subroutine using f2py but I haven't been able to understand what is causing the error

[Melissa Mendonça]

Sure, you can use assume-shape arrays, but if you generate a signature file
using

$ f2py rkfn78.for -m rkfn78 -h rkfn78.pyf

you can see that f2py correctly determines n to be the length of the array
Y, but since YP also depends on n, that's what generated the error you saw
the first time.

If you change the .pyf signature file to the one attached to this message,
delete your original cf2py lines in the .for file and compile it all using

$ f2py -c rkfn78.pyf rkfn78.for --fcompiler=gfortran --f77flags="-c -O
-Wall" -m rkfn78

then you'll have no trouble with assumed-shape arrays.

Cheers,

Melissa

[Melissa Mendonça]

The documentation for f2py is not very complete, I'm afraid. I'll try to
work on that front in the next few months. For now, you can find it here:
https://numpy.org/doc/stable/f2py

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] A second CZI grant for NumPy and OpenBLAS

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce that NumPy and OpenBLAS have (again) received a joint
grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

Here is the official press release [1], medium article [2], and the full
list of grantees [3]. I also wrote a blog post about it to explain a bit
more about the details of the proposal [4].

For NumPy, this funding is meant to support activities related to the
Documentation Team (maintenance, onboarding of new team members), but also
maintenance and development work for f2py. For this, we are glad to be able
to support Pearu Peterson and hope we can improve the state of Fortran
integration [5] in Python.

The grant is for a year of work, starting on January 1st, 2021. I hope this
can have a positive impact on the community and I am grateful to be able to
be a part of it.

All comments, questions and considerations are welcome!

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] NumPy video content: creating a YouTube channel

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all,

The NumPy Documentation Team has been discussing video content as part of
our outreach and documentation efforts, in part inspired by the excellent
Spyder IDE channel [1]. At our last meeting, we realized there is already a
good amount of content about NumPy on YouTube (a few examples [2, 3, 4]).
We thought about creating a YouTube account for NumPy and listing those
videos in a playlist, initially. Eventually, we can also add our own videos
about how to contribute - we're still brainstorming on those.

I'm writing to the mailing list to ask the community for input on creating
this as an official channel for NumPy. If you have any thoughts or
questions regarding this, please let us know.

Cheers,

Melissa

Thanks, Joe. I think that all makes sense and is a valid concern that we
also share. For now, we might experiment with indexing talks that are
already online, and if we do build up enough contributors to generate
original video content, we can go ahead with this idea.

[Numpy-discussion] Google Season of Docs 2021

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, folks!

NumPy is hoping to participate again in Google Season of Docs this year,
and we have a couple of project ideas listed here:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2021-Project-Ideas

This year, GSoD has a different structure: we must choose only one project
idea (ideally, the one prospective technical writers are most interested
in) and submit a sort of grant proposal (details are here:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/admin-guide). If we are
selected, we can hire up to 2 technical writers to work on our project,
depending on the budget allocated to us by Google.

The final proposal must be submitted by March 26 (you can find the complete
timeline here https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline).

Feedback and input is appreciated, and please feel free to share with
technical writers who may be interested.

Cheers,

- Melissa

Hello, Harsh

Do you have any specific questions? If not, I would suggest you look at our
contributor guide (https://numpy.org/devdocs/dev/index.html) and maybe
check open issues in the NumPy github repo to see if anything looks
interesting to you.

Cheers,

Re: [Numpy-discussion] GSoD'21 Ideas Disussion

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Mukulika!

Your project seems very ambitious! My advice would be to focus on one of
two of those items and really spend some time on them. For example, items 1
and 5 could come together, or items 3 and 4 (we are working on item 2 and
welcome contributions, but that may be a smaller task at this point). It
depends on what you would like to focus on: writing new content or
revamping existing content.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Nikita

Thank you for your interest. It would be nice to discuss a bit more about
concrete ideas you have regarding our project for NumPy. Can you elaborate
on this?

The deadline for hiring a technical writer is May 17, and before that all
candidates must submit a Statement of Interest according to the GSoD
website. We can talk before that to elaborate a more concrete proposal or
discuss different ideas.

If you have specific questions you can send them to
numpy-scipy-g...@googlegroups.com

Re: [Numpy-discussion] GSoD 2021 - Statement of Interest

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Mahesh

Thank you for your proposal. One thing I would say is that some of the
things you are suggesting are already there - for example, the How-tos and
Explanations section - but I agree they can be improved!

Another question I could pose is about duplication of content: can you give
examples of duplicated content that you found in the docs?

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] NumPy Tutorials

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, all!

Recently, we added a link to NumPy Tutorials to our main page (
https://numpy.org/numpy-tutorials)

This set of tutorials has been built with the collaboration of a few
contributors, who have put effort and dedication into them. Some of this
content was generated as part of last year's Google Season of Docs program,
with authors kubedoc and Ryan Cooper.

These tutorials are meant to be not only about NumPy, but about using NumPy
to solve concrete problems, which means more flexibility in terms of
content and dependencies for executing them. They are also executable as
Jupyter Notebooks, and contributors can submit their content as notebooks.
This hopefully means a lower barrier of entry for some people, and allows
us to have interactive materials online (with Binder). We also have a
dedicated tutorials section in our main documentation, which should serve a
different purpose (for example, focusing on concepts and operations
specific to NumPy).

The Documentation Team is growing and we would be delighted to have your
help. If you have comments, suggestions for improvements or other content,
please open an issue or PR in the https://github.com/numpy/numpy-tutorials
repo.

Special thanks to Ross Barnowski who has also put a lot of work into this
new site.

Cheers!

Re: [Numpy-discussion] GSoD 2021 - Statement of Interest

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Mahesh

While you work on this, it may be interesting to keep in mind that we are
looking for high-impact work that can be done in the timeframe of the GSoD
program - examples would be reorganizing content in a section of the
documentation, creating new complete document pages on some subject or
concept. It may be worth familiarizing yourself with the documentation (I
won't suggest reading all of it as it's huge!) to get an idea for the
different sections. One idea would be to focus on the user guide, which
contains several sub-pages, and check for improvements that can be done
there.

Cheers,

Melissa

Hello, Kiran, thank you for your proposal.

It would be good to see examples of technical writing - remember that the
Season of Docs program is meant for people with some experience in that
area, so if you have anything to share, please do.

Cheers,

Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Prospective technical writer for GSoD 2021 under NumPy

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Ronnie

Thank you for your interest!

Based on our projects page, do you have any specific ideas for working on
NumPy? Because the deadline for hiring technical writers is so close (May
17) it might be worth thinking of writing your Statement of Interest as
soon as possible.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Newcomer's Hour!

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, folks!

I've added a new event to the NumPy community calendar: the Newcomer's Hour.

This is an event we've been running for a few months and is a bi-weekly
informal meeting for newcomers to the NumPy community. This is a place to
ask questions, technical or otherwise, meet other contributors, and
(hopefully) figure out how to contribute :) We are having one today at 8pm
UTC - here's the zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/6345425936.

To follow all the events and meetings related to NumPy and add them to your
own Google calendar, you can use this link:

[Numpy-discussion] Google Season of Docs

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, all!

I am happy to announce we found our technical writer for the Google Season
of Docs program. After looking at all submitted proposals we have decided
to hire Mukulika. You can see her Statement of Interest here:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2021-May/081746.html

We are very glad to participate again this year and sincerely thank all the
technical writers who took an interest in our project and that contacted us
about it. If you want to keep contributing to NumPy, you are all most
welcome!

Mukulika has already started doing some contributions to NumPy and we wish
her a successful project. Me and Ross will be the mentors for this proposal
but the community is also encouraged to participate with suggestions and
comments. You can check out the timeline and more details about GSoD here:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline

[Numpy-discussion] Understanding Our Contributors - NumFOCUS survey

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all,

NumPy is participating in a research project being conducted by NumFOCUS
, our fiscal sponsorship organization. The research
is looking into understanding the diversity, inclusion and barriers to
participation within NumFOCUS-sponsored projects and the wider open source
community.

The survey  will take 15-20 min
to complete. We’d appreciate your contribution by May 31, 2021.

The results of this survey will help NumFOCUS work closely with our
projects to develop practices that will lead to project success around
diversity, inclusion and sustainability.

Click here to participate in the survey


Thank you for your participation!

[Numpy-discussion] Newcomer's Meeting tomorrow at 4pm UTC!

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all!

Our Newcomer's Meeting tomorrow,
* June 17, will take place at 4pm UTC (instead of the usual 8pm UTC).*

This new time is meant to be more inclusive to contributors in different
time zones. I think it would be nice to experiment with alternating times
for this meeting, so I'll update the calendar and will keep sending
reminders to the mailing list.

This is an informal meeting with no agenda to ask questions, get to know
other people and (hopefully) figure out ways to contribute to NumPy. Feel
free to join if you are lurking around but found it hard to start
contributing - we'll do our best to support you.

[Numpy-discussion] Newcomer's Meeting July 29: special accessibility mini-sprint!

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, folks!

This week we have our planned Newcomer's meeting on July 29, at 8PM UTC.
This time, we are teaming up with Tony Fast and Isabela Presedo-Floyd to
propose a low-code mini-sprint focusing on accessibility. This is a great
opportunity to make your first contribution to NumPy!

We will be focusing on writing alt-text for images in our documentation.
Alt-text provides a textual alternative to non-text content in web pages,
and as cited in this WebAIM document [1]:

"Alternative text serves several functions:

   - It is read by screen readers in place of images allowing the content
   and function of the image to be accessible to those with visual or certain
   cognitive disabilities.
   - It is displayed in place of the image in browsers if the image file is
   not loaded or when the user has chosen not to view images.
   - It provides a semantic meaning and description to images which can be
   read by search engines or be used to later determine the content of the
   image from page context alone."

You can find some more information on how to add alt-text in [2].

As usual, all are welcome - feel free to join even if you just want to
observe!

To join on Zoom, use this link: https://zoom.us/j/6345425936

Hope to see you around!

[Numpy-discussion] New CZI grant to support DEI initiatives in the scientific Python ecosystem

[Melissa Mendonça]

We are happy to announce the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has awarded a grant
to support the onboarding, inclusion, and retention of people from
historically marginalized groups on scientific Python projects, and to
structurally improve the community dynamics for NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib,
and Pandas.

As a part of CZI’s Essential Open Source Software for Science program [1],
this Diversity & Inclusion supplemental grant [2] will support the creation
of dedicated Contributor Experience Lead positions to identify, document,
and implement practices to foster inclusive open-source communities. This
project will be led by Melissa Mendonça (NumPy), with additional mentorship
and guidance provided by Ralf Gommers (NumPy, SciPy), Hannah Aizenman and
Thomas Caswell (Matplotlib), Matt Haberland (SciPy), and Joris Van den
Bossche (Pandas).

This is an ambitious project aiming to discover and implement activities
that should structurally improve the community dynamics of our projects. By
establishing these new cross-project roles, we hope to introduce a new
collaboration model to the Scientific Python communities, allowing
community-building work within the ecosystem to be done more efficiently
and with greater outcomes. We also expect to develop a clearer picture of
what works and what doesn’t in our projects to engage and retain new
contributors, especially from historically underrepresented groups.
Finally, we plan on producing detailed reports on the actions executed,
explaining how they have impacted our projects in terms of representation
and interaction with our communities.

The two-year project is expected to start by November 2021, and we are
excited to see the results from this work! You can read the full proposal
in figshare [3] and see this announcement at the NumPy site [4].

Cheers!

- Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Re: Contributing to Numpy (non coder)

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello and welcome!

You are certainly welcome to start contributing.

Since you mentioned educational content, we are always interested in
tutorial suggestions for https://github.com/numpy/numpy-tutorials. If you
are interested in technical writing from the development point of view, we
do have a bunch of documentation issues in our GitHub repo that can be
worked on - see https://github.com/numpy/numpy/labels/04%20-%20Documentation

If you are available at that time, it might be interesting to attend our
next Newcomer's meeting (taking place on Thursday, October 7 at 4pm UTC).
We can talk about your interests and other possible ways forward there. You
are also welcome to join our community meeting, but the next one is only in
~2 weeks.

Finally, you can also join our Slack space, where we can discuss specific
questions. Let me know and I can add you there.

Cheers!

- Melissa
