Hi there,

The current documentation of NumPy is really good but a bit more
improvement can be made to it, which is the prime objective of my project.
The improvements which I mentioned in my brief proposal are strategies that
can be applied to every documentation to make it better.

Apart from general improvements most the documentation related issues in
the NumPy's GitHub issue tracker
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues?page=2&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+doc+label%3A%2204+-+Documentation%22>
will
be addressed. . Some needs more technical information and help from the
community. Some are due to the lack of visual aids. Most of them will be
addressed and improvements will be made such that similar issues will not
be generated in future.
Rearranging of sections in the User Guide
<https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/absolute_beginners.html> can be done after
further discussions

Some examples regarding the need of restructuring and duplication are given
in the attached document. Apologies in advance if my observations are
inaccurate or nitpicks. The given doc is just a very brief one. An in-depth
proposal with all the planned changes along with solutions to close as many
issues in the tracker will be prepared. I am getting familiar with the
community and NumPy.
