[AstroPy] New to Open Source

[Kenneth Adam Miller]

Well, I'm getting started on this project as well, and we luckily have a
non-zero starting point.

There are some examples in the tutorials. There's also some discussion in
the email list history where some past project fragments may have some use
to our interests.

The first step is to install everything. The second is to do some
requirements engineering. The third is to grab and run the only tutorial
that is useful to us. Then we need to make a plan on how to move forward
implementing our vision from what we've already got.

Have you got astropy and anaconda installed?
