Hi all,

I’m working on a small project to list the contributing opportunities available in the Django community. The end result will be something like:

```markdown

	- code
	- django/django
- requirements:

	- technical knowledge
	- improved programming skills
	- feedback on your code
	- django domain knowledge
	- community engagement

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](https://github.com/djangonaut-space/wagtail-indymeet/pull/478)

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)
