Hi everyone,
Next week Berkeley Institute of Data Science (BIDS) is leading a sprint
entirely devoted to improving documentation of open-source projects,
*DOCATHON*. MNE-Python has been registered
<https://bids.github.io/docathon/pages/projects/mne-python.html>, which
means some contributors are planning to work on documentation. Feel free to
contribute to improving MNE or register your own open-source projects or
get your institutions involved. More information below:
Sign up your project for the docathon!
The Docathon is happening next week! We?ve already got several projects
signed up to participate in improving their documentation during the week.
We?ve put together a nifty project board
<https://bids.github.io/docathon/pages/projects/projects.html> so that we
can keep track of everybody?s progress during the week! If you sign up as a
project <https://goo.gl/forms/0cPpw01zehrEyDDE3>, we?ll post your
documentation commit stats like this:

How can I join in?
We want you to improve your documentation, wherever you are. To that
extent, we?ll keep track of project activity regardless of its location. If
you?d like to work with a group of people, here are a few specifics:
To kick off the docathon we?ll have a morning of tutorials on Monday, March
6th. These will cover particular tools and techniques for building great
documentation. If you?re at Berkeley then you can sign up here

This will also be live-streamed on Youtube, so you can watch from wherever
you are!
We?ll also have some working groups meeting periodically in cities around
the country. If you?d like to join in with these groups, click one of these
