 Most of the time we will stick with this workflow quite strictly and, especially if you have contributed to other projects before, it may feel like there are too many hoops to jump through for what may be a simple contribution. However, the steps above are aimed to make it easy for you as a contributor and for stewards/maintainers to contribute meaningfully, while also making sure that you won't be spending time working on things that may not be accepted for various reasons. The steps above will help ensure that any proposals or fixes are adequately discussed and considered before any work begin, and often this will actually save you (and the steward/maintainer) time because the PR that would need additional fixing after review, or outright not accepted, would happen less often as a result.

 ## Non-source code contribution
 There are many more ways to contribute to p5.js through non-source code contribution than can be exhaustively listed here. Some of the ways may also involve working with some of the p5.js repositories (such as adding examples, writing tutorials for the website, etc.). Depending on what the planned contribution is, we may be able to support you in different ways so do reach out to us via any channel available to you (email, social media, [Discourse forum](https://discourse.processing.org/c/p5js/10), Discord, etc). Here are just some ways you can contribute:

 ## ES6 Adoption
 p5.js has recently adopted the ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) language specifications in order to reduce the complexity of the codebase, increase readability, and utilize features that facilitate elegant and effective coding practices for both newcomers and seasoned contributors. 
 
-The transition process was initially [discussed](https://github.com/processing/p5.js/issues/3758) with the aim of migrating p5 to ES6, which later lead to a series of widespread syntactical changes in the codebase aligned with ES6 specifications. More info on the initial transition can be found [here](https://github.com/processing/p5.js/pull/3874). These changes consisted of minor modifications to the build system to facilitate processing, linting and testing the library based on ES6 standards, as well as major and ubiquitous syntactical modification in line with ES6 features.

 It is worthy to note that as of writing this, these transformations are by no means complete, and do not reflect nor implement every possible feature of ES6. They are intended to facilitate a smoother transition to properly and efficiently utilize ES6 features if and when aligned with the community interests and standards. And serve to motivate contributors to gradually conform to the new style and features.

 - **Beginner Friendly** The p5.js API aims to be friendly to beginner coders, offering a low barrier to creating interactive and visual web content with cutting-edge HTML5/Canvas/DOM APIs.
 - **Educational** p5.js is focused on an API and curriculum that supports educational use, including a complete reference to the API with supporting examples, as well as tutorials and sample class curricula that introduce core creative coding principles in a clear and engaging order.
 - **JavaScript and its community** p5.js aims to make web development practices more accessible to beginners by modeling proper JavaScript design patterns and usage while abstracting them where necessary. As an open-source library, p5.js also includes the wider JavaScript community in its creation, documentation, and dissemination.

 This function allows the user to set the attenuation values, which are used in shaders to restrict the spread of light. Earlier, this was a constant value. Now, the artists can use this function to set the value themselves. Implementing this function required me to add three new uniforms, as well as modifying the light shader and light.js. The default was set to 1.
