Ok, thanks.

I meant the amount of vertical space between lines of text - for
example, the gaps between parameter values and their description, or
the large spacing between both lines of text and and the text boxes in
the examples section. If other people agree it's a problem, I thought
the spacing could be tweaked.  It's not a problem that there's more
than one function per page.

I have been helping out with the docs (where I feel I'm qualified
enough - I'm no numpy expert!).  I think it will make numpy much
easier to learn to have easily-accessible, comprehensive docstrings,
and the documentation editor makes it very easy to contribute.  I'm
also learning a lot reading other people's docstrings :)
