Mention numpydoc.py in numpy docstring guidelines. This should make it easier for people to use the sphinx autodoc to generate API documentation from code that adheres to the numpy docstring conventions.

Also the URL given in the docstring of numpydoc.py was still pointing to the old scipy trac instance. Now points to the HOWTO on GitHub.

The main advantage we have for our current project, is that sphinx doesn't get confused. Without numpydoc sphinx gets confused by the rst headers in the docstrings. What other reasons are there to use numpydoc?

How to use numpydoc should perhaps be documented in doc/sphinxext/README.txt?

What do you think?

Something like that would be useful and then you could reference it. Also note the directions in HOWTO_BUILD_DOCS.rst, maybe a cross reference is all that is needed. I think the important thing is to make the information findable and maybe expand it a bit in light of your experience using it.

Explain why it's good to use numpydoc and link to both numpydoc and some
installation and usage instructions.
