Hello SymPy mentors! I apologize that this introduction is coming so late; I was unable to take advantage of the "exploration" period and didn't know until just recently that applicants are still allowed to contact mentors even after the application deadline. I have been hoping to speak with someone about my proposal and would love to answer any questions or concerns. Would it be possible to do so before the review period ends?
Since submitting my proposal, I have chipped away at its tasks and thought it might be helpful to share some of the early results. In preparation for converting all docstrings to the numpydoc format, I ran the entire smypy library through the numpydoc validator. It took a quite bit of monkey-patching to have it not choke on SymPy's docstrings, so the nearly 17,000 errors it flagged are just a rough measure of the situation: https://gist.github.com/brandondavid/b008667314397b24bbf4f2e6f1fc70ca I also noticed a few issues that the numpydoc validator didn't, such as malformed "See Also" sections and docstrings with repeated section names (e.g. crypto.encipher_hill has two "Notes" sections). Still, I think the above list is certainly enough to get started and I would be eager to do so -- or if you have already settled on a different technical writer, I would be happy to supply them with the work I've already done. Many thanks for your time and I look forward to speaking further! Cheers, Brandon P.S. If any mentor needs a copy of my proposal, please let me know.
