Hi John, Thanks for showing interest in improving SymPy's documentation. Can you tell us a little about what kind of tutorials/guides your project would be focused on?
As for incorporating the notebooks, there was a previous discussion at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sympy/_5RcJXGOgP4 The plan is to move all the notebooks to the https://github.com/sympy/sympy-notebooks repository so that all the notebooks can be at a single standard place. So, I think it will be a good idea to have any notebooks you create as a part of the project at the same repo. Also, just to make sure, the deadline for the application is in 2 days, on July 9, 2020, 18:00 UTC Regards, Nikhil Maan On Tuesday, July 7, 2020 at 5:46:04 AM UTC+5:30, John Yoon wrote: > > Hello, my name is John Yoon, and I would like to express my interest in > contributing to your team for Google’s Season of Docs.
