Re: [Numpy-discussion] Numpy Development Queries

Ashwin, I don't know your background but perhaps it is similar to mine.  I
use numpy extensively in my day job and starting contributing to numpy a
few months ago.  From using numpy, I found some things that I thought
should be added/improved.  I researched them and the associated numpy code
enough to be confident I would be capable of making the change (some of the
C code is intense).  Before I got too far along, I posted an issue and got
feedback from the experts.  Then I did it.

Hi Ashwin, welcome. I don't want to seem discouraging, but I do want to
explain that NumPy is significantly harder to get started on than SciPy
(which you've started on already) as a newcomer to the scientific Python
ecosystem. So I'd encourage you to spend some more time on the SciPy issues
- there are more easy-fix ones there, and the process of contributing (pull
requests, reviews, finding your way around the codebase) is similar for the
two projects.

Cheers,
Ralf

[Numpy-discussion] Numpy Development Queries

[ashwin.pathak]

Hello all,
I am new to this organization and wanted to start with some easy-fix 
issues to get some knowledge about the soruce code. However, the issues 
under easy-fix labels have already been solved or someone is at it. Can 
someone help me find such issues?
