Hey Guys!

I’m Reyan, a current Computer Science undergraduate Student. I love the work that the Processing foundation has been doing so far and have been using p5.js and processing myself in many of my creative coding projects. I’m currently looking forward to participating and contributing to GSOC.

and can someone tell me when will the project ideas will be uploaded to the GitHub page as the project listed there currently are from last year?

Thanks!  
Reyan

I hope everyone is safe and in good health in the wake of prevailing COVID-19.  
My name is Rohan Gupta and I am a 3rd-year Computer Science undergraduate student at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University. I have been working with Swift for a couple of years now and have in-depth knowledge of it. I look forward to contributing to Processing Foundation as part of this year’s GSoC.  
It would be a great assistance if someone could help me connect to a mentor.

Hi, do you mean the Github repository?

It is [here](https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor).

I just started contributing to p5.js web editor a short time ago, so if you need help with setting up the developing environment, I can help with that!

If you are new to p5.js the huge codebase can be quite overwhelming. Below I have linked the resources which will surely help you.

p5.js has awesome documentation, almost all the things you need to get started can be found  
[here](https://p5js.org/contributor-docs/#/).

p5.js reference can be found [here](https://p5js.org/reference/)

Hi all, we are not accepting projects for p5.js web editor this year because we don’t have the mentors to support them.
