Welcome

Hi, and thank you for sprinting with us! We're so happy to have your help.

Hopefully you've already met Shauna, who is the in person lead for the event. If not, please come say hi! The other two project leads are Chris and Matt, who will be participating remotely. You can communicate with them through the NumFocus Slack [note: link or find alternative].

To get started, try installing our project using the instructions in our quickstart guide. We hope they'll work flawlessly but if they don't, please let us know and together we can update our installation process and documentation, which is a fantastic contribution in its own right.

Tasks

Once you've got the project installed, you can start addressing one of our open issues. If you start working on one please leave a comment on it so we don't have multiple people working on the same thing without realizing it. Here's a list of tasks:

  • Test out our installation instructions on your machine: OverArk #28. No experience necessary.
  • Move our documentation into its own repo and set it up on ReadTheDocs with auto-updating: OverArk #3. Experience with ReadTheDocs helpful but not necessary.
  • Add attribute __version__ to module: Hark #221. No experience necessary, should be quick.

Tasks still to prep

  • Find a way to import only the needed parts of Latex for our Jupyter Notebooks: related to this issue but we need a clearer explanation for a newcomer, that's overwhelming as is. {CDC will edit/prep}
  • Implement linting and help us pass our linting tests. #171 - but note this isn't quite ready for newcomers, we need to make some high-level approach decisions. {SGM will edit/prep, and set up linting}
  • HARK must be used in a graphical environment? - not sure if this is a good task for people to work on {CDC edit/prep}
  • https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/issues/120 {CDC will edit/prep} [requires basic math/stats background]
  • Adding new unit tests, pairing with remote core team member {SGM edit/prep}
  • Moving over old unit tests - possibly, {PRM/CDC will prep}
  • Make ??? more pythonic #228 - {NMW will edit/prep}
  • https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/issues/103 - need masters in economics
