The Docathon is One Day Old!

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

Updates

  • We kicked off the week at BIDS by hosting a half-day of Documentation Tutorials. These were live-streamed on youtube for your viewing pleasure!
  • We also demoed a template repository to help you get sphinx / numpydoc / sphinx-gallery working with your project. Use that along with this guide repository 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:

  • PMagPy, a python project for analyzing paleomagnetic data
  • cottoncandy, a project for storing and flexibly accessing numpy data on Amazon S3.
  • Sylius, a platform for e-commerce using PHP

We also got a big bump in commits from individual users! Here's what everybody has been up to:

Let's give a shout out to this day's docstars anwarnunez, willingc, and swanson-hysell.

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,

The Docathon Team
