Pandas documentation (BEGINNERS)
Details
According to this recent blog post by Stack Overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/), Python is declared as the fastest-growing major programming language. And 10% of its credit is considered to be due to the pandas (http://pandas.pydata.org/) library.
In this sprint we'll improve pandas documentation.
Before the sprint, please go to the Pandas API documentation (https://pandas-docs.github.io/pandas-docs-travis/api.html), and choose the method of DataFrame or Series you want to work on.
Gitter: https://gitter.im/py-sprints/pandas-doc
The idea is to improve the API documentation. So we will transform a page like:
http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.20.3/generated/pandas.DataFrame.reset_index.html
to a page like:
https://pandas-docs.github.io/pandas-docs-travis/generated/pandas.DataFrame.reset_index.html
More information on how to contribute to Pandas documentation can be found here:
