Hi Thomas! This guide opensource.guide/how-to-contribute should be able to help out. I will be publishing an article soon about how to apply to the Season of Docs program by Google. You can subscribe to my newsletter to get notified about it when it is published.

Daily Dev Tips For me, contributing to open source is also a process to learn. So I may not necessarily be contributing because I am good enough but because I want to learn about that project or try out something new. Yes, it can be tough but most maintainers are very supportive.
