Contributing to the documentation
=================================

If you're not the developer type, contributing to the documentation is still
of huge value. You don't even have to be an expert on
*pandas* to do so! Something as simple as rewriting small passages for clarity
Whether you are someone who loves writing, teaching, or development,
contributing to the documentation is a huge value. If you don't see yourself
as a developer type, please don't stress and know that we want you to
contribute. You don't even have to be an expert on *pandas* to do so!
Something as simple as rewriting small passages for clarity
as you reference the docs is a simple but effective way to contribute. The
next person to read that passage will be in your debt!

No, make the change by all means! If this was a Python file, flake8 would have been unhappy. 😄
