Hi all,

The docathlon has started, and Warren got us off the mark with
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/7138 (thanks!).

If you want to contribute, an easy way is what Warren did: pick a function
with an incomplete docstring (e.g. missing example) and add it.
Alternatively, look at one of the issues with the documentation label:
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ADocumentation

And remember to start your commit message with DOC:.

Cheers,
Ralf

The docathon just turned one (day old)! Here's a quick update to
congratulate everybody on a great first day.
Updates

to
help you get started!

Check out the docboards!

My favorite thing about today is that you can totally see a bump in the
documentation commits for our projects. You can check that out on our
global activity board below:

*Global Activity*

We should also give a shout out to our docstar projects that showed a big
bump in activity today. Here's our docboard for project commits:

Three cheers for:

everybody has been up to:

Let's give a shout out to this day's docstars *anwarnunez*, *willingc*, and

Keep it going!

We look forward to seeing what comes next tomorrow. The working groups will
be holding sessions once again, though we've gotten a lot of great
contributions from people all over the country! We're making great
progress, so let's keep the momentum through tomorrow!

Until then,
