Season of Docs 2019 - Projects for Open MPI Documentation

This wiki page describes project ideas for Open MPI for Google's Season of Docs 2019.

The Open MPI Project is an open source implementation of the Message Passing Interface that is developed and maintained by a consortium of academic, research, and industry partners. Open MPI is therefore able to combine the expertise, technologies, and resources from all across the High Performance Computing community in order to build the best MPI library available. Open MPI offers advantages for system and software vendors, application developers and computer science researchers.

Although we have many active developers working on the Open MPI source code and build infrastructure, documentation development and maintenance both for end users as well as new developers has lagged behind work on the implementation itself. We have a number of documentation project ideas that may be of interest to participants in Google's Season of Docs. The proposed projects below are ranked in order complexity:

Modernize the Open MPI FAQ pages

Refactor the Open MPI Contributing to Open MPI web pages

Modernize the Open MPI web site
