^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can be an active member of the Scikit-Learn community by `:ref:contributing` to
open issues, whether they're documentation improvements, code enhancements, or bug fixes.
Scikit-Learn often tags issues with “good first issue” or “help wanted,”
which are excellent starting points for new contributors.

Engaging in the `Discussions <https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/discussions>`
forum is another valuable way to participate, where you can ask questions, share insights,
answer others' questions, and contribute ideas to help solve challenges together.
If you're new to contributing, joining discussions is a great way to learn about community
practices and see which areas align with your interests. Don’t hesitate to suggest ideas
or give feedback on proposed features; fresh perspectives are always welcome.

Additionally, reviewing and providing feedback on pull requests submitted by others is
a great way to support the maintainers and learn best practices. You don’t need to be an
expert—even small comments on code readability or documentation clarity can be valuable
and appreciated by other contributors.

For beginners, small contributions like fixing typos, clarifying documentation, or adding
examples are impactful ways to get started. Scikit-Learn also hosts occasional sprints and
community meetings, which are great opportunities to collaborate in real-time with other
contributors.

Don’t hesitate to contribute even small fixes or suggestions—every contribution helps
improve Scikit-Learn and strengthens the community!
