First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing documentation and any current writing conventions, then determine which style guide and scope would make the documentation more consistent. Done means an agreed style guide is selected and its adoption scope is documented.
