Hi @divysinghvi ,

Welcome to Google's Gemma family of open source models, the community contribution guidelines url will redirect you to the README.md file where you can see the further guidelines. I have utilized it and it's working fine. Please find the following screenshot.

If you have any queries or would like to contribute to Gemma models you could utilize any of the platforms like, GitHub, HuggingFace, Kaggle or Google AI Forum.

Please find the following reference URLs for each one of these platforms below.

1. GitHub
2. HuggingFace
3. Kaggle
4. Google AI Forum

Thanks.

I meant on the website it is not working https://gemma-llm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#./CONTRIBUTING.md on this page the link does not work, i would love to make a PR regarding that also thanks for the reference urls for the form i think we should add these more explicitly in contributing guidelines or website would be super helpful for new contributors thanks for the response :)

[Balakrishna-Chennamsetti]

Thank you so much for your interest and yes you can raise the PR for your suggested changes. I really appreciates your time and interest for contribution.

Thanks.

Thanks as a looked into it on the github the contribution guidelines redirect us to the contributing.md but when we are on the website the contributing.md does not exists so even when we are redirected it still returns the readme/ home page , from what i have seen in the codebase i think it caused by the factor that contribution.md is not part of the docs folder that's why it is not getting shown but the main issue that i am facing is i can't seem to run the site locally facing some error

[Balakrishna-Chennamsetti]

Yes, the CONTRIBUTING.md file is under the main project level repo not under the docs repo. If we would like to add URL in the web page under the contribution guidelines, we have to add the this main CONTRIBUTING.md from main project repo itself. Thanks once again for your contribution and time.

Thanks.

Hello @Balakrishna-Chennamsetti ,
I also created a similar pull request but it never got merged it would be great if you can have a look. I tried to solve the very same issue of where the link to guidelines for making contribution was not working. It is still not actually working on the website so I guess it is not resolved as of yet. #378
Let me know if it requires some changes or anything. I am a bit new to making contributions to open source.

Thanks.
