SciPy Sprint October 2009
- Date: 24/25 October 2009 (Sat/Sun)
- Find us on: irc.freenode.net in channel #scipy
We've noticed that our patch queue keeps getting longer and longer (code patches as well as docs), so here is an opportunity to do some spring cleaning!
We are looking for volunteers to write documentation, review code, fix bugs or design marketing material. New contributors are most welcome, and mentorship will be available.
Priorities
Topics
The sprints will center around these tasks. Format of this list is "task [contact person]".
- Tickets - close as many as possible [stefan, davidc, pauli]
- Documentation [ralf, davidg, pauli]
- Finish off / move forward some of the docstrings that require in-depth knowledge of numpy, like: broadcast, newbuffer & friends, ctypeslib, record, ndarray.strides, ufunc, void, distutils
- Create or review templates for docstrings that are repeatable and have to refer somewhere else like: generic, chararray, ndarray methods
- Tie up some loose ends that are not discussed in the documentation standard, for example how to document modules.
The above will allow us to switch from writing mode into review + maintenance mode for the NumPy docs, and start focusing more on the SciPy docs.
- Patch review [davidc, toliphant, stefan]
- Marketing
- Web page design -- where are we now?
