Hi @DuP_491 , glad to know that you are interested in procecssing !

You can start contributing in any OpenSource project by **setting up in local first and then use it for atleast a day and see why it exists and how it solves the realtime problem.**

So it is applied to processing !

You can start by [setting up processing in local](https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Build-Instructions)

- if you are interested in Java , you can look at [processing/processing](https://github.com/processing/processing)
- if you are more into android development, you can look at - [processing/processing-android](https://github.com/processing/processing-android)
- if you are a js developer, you can look at - [processing/p5.js](https://github.com/processing/p5.js)  
…

similarly you can find all Processing projects here - [github.com/processing](https://github.com/processing).

thanks,  
Aditya Rana
