ENH: fix intro links #21

Closed jklymak closed 2 years ago

jklymak commented 2 years ago

I think this improves the situation discussed in #10. Also makes the links "stable" versus devdocs. I assume we dont' want our landing page directing to devdocs...

@mwaskom, @story645 - the first link is still not very good, and I hope one day we will have an actual gallery of published figures. The rest now point to appropriate places in the documentation. Whether those are as impressive as they could be is a fair discussion, but at least now they are not mystifying.

Note that matplotlib.org/stable will soon look like the landing page when 3.5 is out, so don't be distracted by the change of style.

If you had different suggested landing pages, happy to change. I am also personally sympathetic to the idea that these do not need links, but they are currently there, so this cleans them up.

So while that would be a project and a half, what about listing papers that cite Matplotlib for this link?

ETA something like https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4160265/citations?tabFilter=papers

Looks great, thanks for entertaining my unsolicited feedback :)

OK, thats not a bad idea - just the fact that it points to >8000 citations is helpful.

Fundamentally, I'm with "show, don't tell." A page of publication quality graphs would be better than the citations. Since we don't have that, citations are better than a gallery of non-publication quality graphs.

I think that would be great, but not achievable in the next few days, so I opened an issue matplotlib/matplotlib#21498 to track this
