A tiny retrospective

[brainwane]

Pulled up this screen to share a few issues I just filed with a colleague, and noticed one dimension of the contributions I've made to Python packaging over the past few years: https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+org%3Apypa+archived%3Afalse+author%3Abrainwane (I think you can only see this when logged in, and possibly not everyone can see it).

48 open issues in the PyPA org, 91 closed.

That’s indeed something to be proud of!

Thanks!

You always work on stuff with so much documentation!

I was able to look at the project and see .rst files and wonder what those were since I am used to seeing .md files and look them up.

Thanks! Often that's because I _write_ (or massively improve) the docs. :) reStructuredText is far more capable than Markdown but also has a lot more syntax to remember; I often write in HTML or Markdown and then use pandoc to transmute the text into rST.
