Switching to Jupyter Book v2 from Sphinx

  • So far we have discussed on the themes of Sphinx for the tutorials
  • However, Jupyter Book v2 natively supports Markdown
    • Less work on our side about dependencies
  • Open a PR and request feedback on the mailing list
    • First mailing list and Mattermost, then we wait for the next meeting
    • After that, add a note in the newsletter requesting more feedback

FCC week

  • Let’s brainstorm on what would be useful for a 90 min session and we discuss
    • Documentation hackathon?
    • We can prototype a doc hackathon in advance (via Zoom), to gain experience and polish details towards a hackathon in person
There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
