Any person can contribute code to Django. It's open to all individuals and is one of the most impactful types of contributions to the community. However, it can take months before your changes are committed to main, so please be patient.

If there’s anyone looking to help on this, I’ve got a draft PR up for the Djangonaut Space website: Add initial implementation of community opportunity page. by tim-schilling · Pull Request #478 · djangonaut-space/wagtail-indymeet · GitHub

It can benefits from:

  • Tweaks to the UI, especially the modal
  • Content review (I had Claude generate it based on the ones I had written already, I’ll be working through them one at a time leaving comments)
