Welcoming new contributors

The sprint is a great time for new contributors to become familiar with the project. We welcome newcomers. Please be sure to read the contributing section of the documentation http://scikit-learn.org/dev/developers/contributing.html, and to have a development environment ready in which you can install scikit-learn from scratch, build it, and use git to push changes to github.
