Bala, That's great - we could certainly use your expertise! The best way to start is to set-up an account on github: http://www.github.com You can then browse the list of known issues at https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues If there is anything there that you'd like to address, you can fork the code and submit a pull request (there are tutorials about how to do this on github).
Also be sure to take a look at this page with more extensive info on how to get involved: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/index.html As far as documentation goes, scikit-learn docs are based on the sphinx documentation system: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ Familiarizing yourself with this and with reStructuredText will be useful if you'd like to work on documentation. Thanks for your willingness to contribute! Jake Bala Subrahmanyam Varanasi wrote: > Hi all :) > > My name is Bala Subrahmanyam Varanasi.
