I think this is a fantastic question, I hope you get a bunch of good answers.<p>I do however recommend you choose a project that you are interested in, something you can use yourself. You&#x27;ll find your time more rewarding if you can &quot;stick&quot; with a project for longer than just &quot;improving my skills&quot;.<p>As such a good starting point might be something in a non-tech space, but which is a hobby of yours. For example a bird-watcher might seek out bird-watching-software and see if thats a good fit.<p>I say non-tech only because those areas are the least served. Tech programs naturally get the lions share of techie contributers. (Although clearly not the lions share of good docs.)

I have a project to create an OS that executes in the web browser with a localhost Node backend. The goal is to create a universal operating environment that works securely the same way on all modern computers with flexibility. See if its something that might interest you.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;prettydiff&#x2F;share-file-systems">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;prettydiff&#x2F;share-file-systems</a>

Magic Lantern definitely needs a lot of help in terms of reverse engineering, build system (we are still depending on python2) and also documentation and wiki stuff. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;magiclantern.fm&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;magiclantern.fm&#x2F;</a>
