Problem description: ".resample" documentation too vague
url: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.resample.html
e.g.:
rule: "The offset string or object representing target conversion"
No idea what is meant by that but a more helpful description to amateurs like me seems to be e.g.: 'a frequency or valid rule for re-sampling an inputted time-series object. Expressed as a string. '
Where is the documentation on 'how'? Or is it deprecated. If so, why is it there?
There are 13 parameters with only 9 descriptions.
Lastly, I think that if documentation is structured, a better suited layout is in the form of tables with clear headers but I suppose the documentation is too far in for anyone to be motivated to change it!

certainly would take a pull request to add a link to the main docs - these doc strings are more for reference
