 We distinguish between a Developer (Dev) and Community sprint because the goals and results differ significantly between the two.  
 
 **Developer (Dev) Sprint**
+
 A Developer, or “dev”, sprint is one that is typically organized by the maintainers of the library.  A dev sprint is one where the developers or maintainers of the library gather to work on issues and to discuss the resolution of ongoing complex issues. This also provides the team an opportunity to focus on tasks related to the long-term roadmap of the project.
 
 For scikit-learn, the early sprints were alongside the [SciPy conferences](https://conference.scipy.org) and the practice has continued for over a decade.
 
 **Community Sprint**
+
 A Community sprint can be a collaboration by individuals, by affinity communities such as Meetup Groups (Data Umbrella, PyLadies, etc.), by conferences (SciPy, PyData Global, JupyterCon, etc.).  A Community sprint is one that is with the general public and it may be beginners, experts, or a combination of both.
 
-At a Developer sprint, a contributor may work on a PR that has been ongoing for three months.  
-Conversely, Community sprints require curated issues which newcomers can complete in a shorter period of time (such as 1 day, or 1 day with 1-2 months follow-up).

 The landscape of community sprints with other [scientific python](https://scientific-python.org/calendars/) libraries is unknown.  It is possible that scikit-learn may have had community sprints earlier than other projects.
