Sage Doc Day 1

This is the first of the Sage Doc Days, an attempt to improve all the kinds of documentation is Sage. Here are some areas that need work:

• DOCTESTS -- This is the most obvious, as our doctest coverage is somewhere
  • in the 33-35% range (depending on which cdef'd functions are counted, etc).

• Manuals/Guides -- All of the guides [http://www.sagemath.org/documentation.html: here]

  • could probably use some work.
• Programming Guides -- There are several pieces of the code base (coercion model,
  • p-adics, pexpect interfaces, the notebook, etc) that are hard to understand at a first glance (or even a tenth glance). It would be nice if people familiar with those sections could write a general guide for each of them.
• Several more suggestions were made in this thread:
