+- write a new tutorial or a blog post
+- improve the documentation or the existing examples
+- submit bug reports or feature requests
+- write code to incorporate into Jupyter-ROS itself

+4. Test your changes in a clean environment and update installation instructions and dependencies as needed.
+5. When adding new features, make sure to update the documentation and provide an example under _notebooks/_.
+6. New notebooks
+   - Remove all output.
+   - Remove unnecessary cells.
+   - Include a descriptive title.
+   - Specify ROS version in the notebook name, "_ROS Turtlesim.ipynb_" vs "_ROS**2** Turtlesim.ipynb_"
