Hello! p5.js is participating in Google Season of Docs this year, which means we are hiring two technical writers to help improve p5.js documentation. If you're a coder with writing knowledge or a writer with coding knowledge, this is a great opportunity to help lower the barrier to entry for new users or contributors to p5.js.
