Documentation problem
As part of the HackIllinois Open Source Fellowship and having never used pandas before, I have been reading through the pandas documentation to learn more about it and noticed several issues in the Getting Started page of the docs.
- Small punctuation errors
- The "to user guide" link under "How to manipulate textual data?" leads to the time-series section of the guide
- Under "How to combine data from multiple tables", the given explanation is hard to understand due to grammar issues
Suggested fix for documentation
- Under "What kind of data does pandas handle" add a comma after "clean"
- Under "How to calculate summary statistics" add a comma after "a sliding window of data"
- For the incorrect linking to time-series, have the user guide instead link to "Working with text data"
- Rephrase the synopsis under "How to combine data from multiple tables" to -> Multiple tables can be concatenated both column wise and row wise as database-like join/merge operations are provided to combine multiple tables of data.
