Working With Documentation

As a result of my somewhat slow results and my basic knowledge of Python at the time, I was put onto the documentation for TARDIS. TARDIS documentation is very cohesive, but there were issues mostly regarding formatting and the style of documentation, specifically with regards to docstrings. There was old syntax present that would mess with the TARDIS documentation pages, so I read through all of the modules going around fixing the docstrings. This took a few tries to get a majority of the issues, but they were all cleared up.

The next small project I got to work on was creating documentation that would automatically generate the names, authors, and links to papers that used TARDIS in research with my fellow freshman PA Isaac. This was a fun experiment into using modules and the pandas dataframe. This also led to research of how files and folders are organized, and the naming syntax so that files and folders are linked when the documentation is created. The folder that generates the list of research papers that use tardis can be viewed here. This was an important achievement to me, being able to write code with Isaac to help add a feature to TARDIS instead of just improving existing material was extremely rewarding, as well as fun to be able to put my newfound coding skills to use.
