Issues for mediocres

[himanshub16]

I realise this project requires considerable knowledge and expertise.
Still, I like it and want to contribute to it. Are there any simple issues/guide where I can start from?

I would recommend to label issues as 'bitesize', or as per difficulty level.

Off the top of my head: I need to have a script that checks for broken links in the doc (this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/giampaolo/psutil/master/docs/index.rst). More or less it should:

• collect all urls by using a regular expression
• for each url make an HTTP request and fail it's a broken link (return code != 200 plus some other conditions I am probably missing right now).
• The script should live under /scripts/internals and should be manually invoked from the Makefile as make check-broken-links).

Not sure if this is something which may interest you but since I'm bad with regular expressions that would be useful to me.

Another thing which would be cool is investigate #900

Also you may want to take a look at this file:

...although these are not easy tasks.

I will comment again if something else comes to mind.

Closing this out. Just ping me when you're done with exams.

Hey dude. Sorry but I'm flying to Amsterdam tomorrow and I'll be back on Friday so be patient. I had something for you but I forgot. I'll search for inspiration by watching Amsterdam canals and let you know when I'm back. =)
