Of course. Everything is BSD licensed. The source code of the manual can
be found in the 'doc' directory of the scikit-learn's source code. It is
compiled with sphinx, which is pretty standard in the scipy community.

The source code is hosted on github:
https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn

The standard way to contribute is to fork the project on github, modify
the code (including documentation) and send pull requests. The process is
described on 
http://scikit-learn.sourceforge.net/dev/developers/index.html

The development version of the manual, including any changes contributed,
is compiled nightly, and visible on:
http://scikit-learn.sourceforge.net/dev/

As can be seen from 
https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/graphs/impact
we are very inclusive with external contributions. This is a community
driven project. And the community can certainly help improving the
documentation.
