Hi all -- I am interested in making some serious ongoing contributions around multiprocessing.
My inspiration, first and foremost, comes from the current documentation for multiprocessing. There is great material there but I believe it is being presented in a way that hinders adoption and understanding. I've taken some initial baby-steps to propose specific changes: http://bugs.python.org/issue22952 http://bugs.python.org/issue23100 The first, issue22952, can reasonably be tackled with a patch like I've submitted. Continuing with patches for issue23100 can also be made to work. I realize that reviewing such patches takes non-trivial time from volunteers yet I'm interested in submitting a series of patches to hopefully make the documentation for multiprocessing much more consistent with other module docs and much more accessible to end users. I don't want to simply create more work for other volunteers -- I'd like to volunteer to reduce / share some of their work as well. Beyond the documentation, there is currently a backlog of 186 issues mentioning multiprocessing, some with patches on offer, some without. I'd like to volunteer my time reviewing and triaging these issues. Hopefully you can already get a sense of my voice on issues from what I wrote in those two issues above. Rather than me simply walking through that backlog, offering comments or encouragement here and there on issues, it makes more sense for me to ask: what is the right way for me to proceed? What is the next step towards me helping triage issues? Is there a bridge-keeper with at least three, no more than five questions for me? Thanks, Davin
