Moving Array API support table to a more prominent location

Hi all,

We now have a handy page that displays coverage of array api support for SciPy Support for the array API standard — SciPy v1.17.0.dev Manual . The current location is pretty hidden away and is unlikely to be found by the casual user. This made sense initially as this is an experimental feature with limited coverage. However, now coverage is quite good in some modules I wonder if we should move this page to a more prominent location in the hope more users will start testing it out. For example, how about adding an extra tile to the landing page SciPy documentation — SciPy v1.17.0.dev Manual ?

Thanks for the proposal @j-bowhay. I think we’re close to the place we need to be to make this more prominent. That said, it still shows 0% for lots of modules, so putting it right on the front page as a separate link seems a bit too much right now. @steppi is working through this, the largest PR (for signal) is about ready to be merged, and I believe he expects to get through the rest within a couple of weeks. So I’d do this after that has landed.

Not 100% sure where it needs to go then. I think we need a User Guide section for it actually, which contains the user-focused “getting started” info and these tables. To get started, the content can be taken from Support for the array API standard — SciPy v1.17.0.dev Manual , which is now a mix of usage and contributor-focused docs.

This is probably not true, because the page with the tables is linked from the API reference entry for every single function that has support (example: Notes section of stats.chi2_contingency).
