SPEC on Sphinx doc?

[pllim]

I vaguely remember discussion about a common Sphinx theme. Was it supposed to be a SPEC or is it something else?

It may make sense to write a brief SPEC on "Unified theming" for the community.

The theme you are thinking of is pydata-sphinx-theme, and for websites we use the scientific-python-hugo-theme.

This would be great. In my experience there's been some unstructured, unofficial effort to keep the landing pages for the numpy, scipy, and pandas docs roughly consistent (e.g. using sphinx-design with a 2x2 card layout). I think there's value in doing so, but of course projects can+should be free to style documentation as they please. Anything that improves the communication across projects re: general theming considerations would be great.

and I plan to jump on that wagon with astroquery, and also with astroml. The latter will happen hopefully in the next week or two 😅. So count me in for a spec for this.
