Round 1: €200,000
Round 2: €250,000
Round 1 Summary
Each participating team submitted a final report, and included a portion to be published.
In just four months, the p5.js team worked with over 70 contributors to transform more than 100 documents! We organized, updated, and simplified the docs, making them more accessible for everyone. This not only helps current p5.js users but also sets the stage for a more welcoming experience for future contributors. The collaborative effort involved a diverse group, including over 30 key contributors and 40 community members, all of whom were compensated for their invaluable contributions to open-source software projects.
Round 2
The plans of the p5.js team:
In Round 2, the p5.js project aims to unveil the updated documents from Round 1 on a new website, designed and developed with accessibility-first approach.
