Hi.

SymPy already has hired someone for Season of Docs. I encourage you to
apply elsewhere and wish you luck.

I have added a note to the top of the page. I hope it is prominent enough.

Typically we would be hiring at this point, but this year we already
had someone that we decided to work with from the start, Jeremy Monat,
who has been doing great work on improving our documentation. So we
are not accepting applications. I know this is unfortunate for folks
like you who may have wanted to apply to work with SymPy, but it is
much more convenient for us as going through the process of fielding
applications and hiring someone is very time consuming.

If we participate in Season of Docs in future years we may end up
taking applications again, as we have in previous years. We also are
participating in GSoC. GSoC projects must involve code, not just
documentation, but there is at least one project relating to
documentation, see
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Ideas#documentation-tooling.
The deadline to apply for GSoC is tomorrow, though, so if you were
interested in this you would have to apply rather quickly.

We may also participate in similar programs in the future, if they are
appropriate for the project.

If you are interested in Season of Docs, I would suggest taking a look
at LFortran, which is another Season of Docs organization and which I
believe is taking applications. LFortran isn't directly related to
SymPy, but the LFortran creator Ondřej Čertík was also the creator of
SymPy, so I know for a fact that they have a community that is just as
welcoming as SymPy's.

In any case, I wish you luck.

Thanks for the information, Aaron.

[Jeremy Monat]

As the technical writer for Season of Docs, I'm excited to help improve the documentation for solving! Solving is what led me to SymPy originally.

I analyzed a year's worth of Google search data for our documentation site and categorized terms involving "solv" into 15 categories. You can read the search term analysis.

The first product of the SoD project is the main (landing) page for solving. You can review the solving landing page as a draft pull request.

Best,

Jeremy Monat

I enjoyed reading the analysis and appreciate the sentiment expressed: "to document commonly-requested types of "solving" regardless of the SymPy function best suited to the task." Looking forward to seeing the work progress.

Thanks, Chris! Glad the sentiment resonates and look forward to helping more people use SymPy’s power to achieve their goals.
