Hi everyone,
Apologies for cross-posting : this event might be of interest to some of
the projects of the scientific Python community. We are trying to encourage
FOSS developers to focus on documentation for a week instead of fixing bugs
or implementing cool features!
Here are more informations about the project.
Thanks,
Nelle
Sign up your project for the docathon!
The Docathon is happening next week! We’ve already got several projects
signed up to participate in improving their documentation during the week.
We’ve put together a nifty project board
<https://bids.github.io/docathon/pages/projects/projects.html> so that we
can keep track of everybody’s progress during the week! If you sign up as a
project <https://goo.gl/forms/0cPpw01zehrEyDDE3>, we’ll post your
documentation commit stats like this:
How can I join in?
We want you to improve your documentation, wherever you are. To that
extent, we’ll keep track of project activity regardless of its location. If
you’d like to work with a group of people, here are a few specifics:
To kick off the docathon we’ll have a morning of tutorials on Monday, March
6th. These will cover particular tools and techniques for building great
documentation. If you’re at Berkeley then you can sign up here
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bids-docathon-kickoff-tickets-32302896834?aff=mcivte>.
This will also be live-streamed on Youtube, so you can watch from wherever
you are!
We’ll also have some working groups meeting periodically in cities around
the country. If you’d like to join in with these groups, click one of these
