This pull request focuses on improving documentation clarity, accuracy, and consistency across multiple files. The most important changes include rewriting descriptions for better readability, updating terminology to match current standards, and correcting technical details in configuration and usage instructions.

Documentation clarity and readability improvements:

  • Rewrote introductory sections in README.md and docs/index.rst to clarify the purpose of Speasy and make the text more accessible to newcomers. [1] [2]
  • Revised feature lists and usage examples to use clearer language and emphasize discoverability through tab-completion in Python environments. [1] [2] [3]
  • Updated provider-specific documentation (docs/user/amda/amda.rst, docs/user/cdaweb/cdaweb.rst, docs/user/cdpp3dview/cdpp3dview.rst, docs/user/Uiowa_eph_tool/uiowa_eph_tool.rst) to use consistent terminology and improve explanations of features and configuration options. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

Configuration and installation updates:

  • Clarified configuration instructions in docs/user/configuration.rst, including details about the INI file location, cache settings, and disabling providers. [1] [2] [3]
  • Improved installation instructions in docs/installation.rst to refer to Speasy consistently and updated external links.

Technical corrections and terminology updates:

  • Corrected references from README.rst to README.md in contribution guidelines.
  • Fixed typos and improved wording throughout documentation, such as changing "Zendoo DOI" to "Zenodo DOI" and updating variable names in code examples. [1] [2]
  • Updated proxy configuration instructions to mention both HTTP and HTTPS proxies.

These changes collectively enhance the documentation's usability and accuracy for both new and experienced users.

Fix typos (nowaday, seemless, Zendoo, spacecrafts, b_mfi_coulds),
grammar (it's/its, subject-verb agreement), broken RST syntax
(markdown link in RST, plain text refs), and stale references
(README.rst, old project name, astroquery issue). Add CDPP 3DView
to data providers listing, document config file paths and cache
defaults, and clarify dynamic inventory tab-completion usage.

Restructure around a step-by-step tutorial (find directory, write
YAML, restart and use), add a field reference table, a URL
placeholder table, explain "how it works" at a high level before
diving into details, and clearly separate regular vs random split
datasets. Keep the custom reader example unchanged.
