Welcome to contributing guide to SIG Scalability.
We are thrilled to have you here.

## Before you begin

## What SIG Scalability works on

SIG Scalability has a few areas that you can contribute to.
You can find list of [subprojects](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-scalability/README.md#details-about-sig-scalability-sub-projects) that we are working on.
Some of subprojects like `Kubernetes scalability bottlenecks detection` require both very deep and wide understanding of Kubernetes before making reasonable contributions.
We recommend starting with contributions to `Scalability Test Frameworks` and `Scalability and Performance tests`.
The easiest way to start contributing is to check issues with `good-first-issue` label [here][good-first-issues] or find issue with `help-wanted` label [here][help-wanted].
Also, please check out documentation of [Clusterloader2], our [SLOs] and current [Scalability limits].
If you are unsure in what area you want or should contribute, reach out to one of our [leads] on Slack.
