may I work on this?
Sure.
Since there is no commits for a month, can I take up this task? (I am just starting with open source contribution, any references or redirection is welcomed)
Please review and tell me will it work?
@mpenkov this is my 1st contribution to this project, can you take a look at PR #3223 and let me know if it's good to go?
Hi, is this issue still available to be worked on? Would love to get started with contributions on this project!
would love to start contributing to this repo by starting with this issue, can it be assigned to me?
You don't need to be assigned something to propose a fix, in the form of a Github PR.
This is a very low-stakes matter - less-used (fairly obscure) FastText modes, with few people expecting them to work in Gensim. It's unclear that the gap here has ever actually inconvenienced or confused anyone – it's just a matter of being clear/thorough in describing what actually works, "just in case".
So improvements should stay safe/minimal/easy-to-review/low-risk - for example, it might just be some extra clarity in related doc-comments (to note not all modes fully supported). Maybe, also, some warning sent in user-visible output (with same conventions as similar warnings elsewhere in Gensim) if/when unsuppored modes are loaded - if it can be done simply.
Okay, will look forward for more impactful problems to solve then
This would still be a fine first issue, for which improvements wquld be welcome! My comment was meant to help describe the kind of (careful, minimal, straightforward) contribution that would make sense for this sort of "loose ends" issue.
Sure makes sense
