Issue:

Vercel deploy to preview PR check fails

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a PR in this repo.

Additional Context:

Need to make changes to https://github.com/kuosc2005/website/blob/main/.github/workflows/test-deploy.yml file.

The Project section of the Kathmandu University Open Source Community website currently lists projects, but lacks essential information in the About and Setup/Guide sections. This makes it challenging for users to understand the projects and how to contribute effectively.

Expected

About Section: Provide a brief overview of each project, including its purpose, goals, and
Setup/Guide Section: Offer clear instructions on how to set up the project environment and contribute to the project.

Steps to Reproduce

• Visit the Projects section of the website
• Click on any project listed.
• Observe the lack of information in the About and Setup/Guide sections.

Additional Information

Including detailed information in the About and Setup/Guide sections will improve user engagement and facilitate contributions from the community.

This enhancement aligns with the community's goals of promoting open-source collaboration and providing resources for project contributors.

Priority

This enhancement is of high priority as it directly impacts the usability and effectiveness of the website.

Issue Description:

The KUOSC website repository currently lacks a README file, which is a fundamental component of any open-source project. A well-crafted README file serves as the introduction and first impression of the project for potential contributors, users, and other interested parties. It provides essential information about the project's purpose, features, installation instructions, and usage guidelines.

By addressing this issue and creating a comprehensive README file, the KUOSC community can effectively communicate the project's goals, usage instructions, and contribution guidelines. This will make it easier for newcomers to understand and engage with the project, ultimately fostering collaboration and growth.

Issue Description:

Uneven spacing can be seen in the current version of the website. The KUCC shoutout section is not expanded to its full container width. Also, adding a about KUOSC section above the KUCC section would look good. And the whole thing can be moved below hero section and above what we do section. And finally, about KUCC heading text can be removed and both About KUOSC and About KUCC comes under About heading.

Issue Description:

The KUOSC website repository is currently lacking essential documentation for various contributions and management aspects. This documentation is crucial for maintaining a transparent and efficient workflow within the community.

The following pages are missing documentation:

• Contributing Guidelines Page: This page should provide clear instructions on how individuals can contribute to the KUOSC project, including the codebase, documentation, and other aspects of the project.
• Code Contributions Page: Detailed instructions on how to contribute code to the KUOSC project are missing. This includes steps for setting up the development environment, coding standards, submitting pull requests, and reviewing code.
• Documentation Contributions Page: The absence of documentation on how to contribute to the project's documentation hinders the growth of the project. This page should guide contributors on how to improve and expand the project's documentation resources.
• Management Contributions Page: A well-defined guide for individuals who want to contribute to the management and organization of the KUOSC project is lacking. This page should outline roles, responsibilities, decision-making processes, and how to get involved in non-technical aspects of the project.

Dark color palette looks a bit bland.

Instead of available color, we can use something different... like #228522. It looks like this after the update:

The leaderboard section on our website lacks visual appeal and fails to engage users effectively. We need to revamp its design to make it more attractive and interactive.

Proposed Changes:

1. Visual Refresh: Update the design to make it more visually appealing and in line with our website's theme.

2. Interactive Elements: Add animations, hover effects, or transitions to make the leaderboard more engaging.

3. Clear Information Hierarchy: Organize the information in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. Use colors and icons to differentiate between different elements.

4. GitHub Contributions Display: Integrate GitHub contributions data directly into the leaderboard, showcasing the number of contributions and lines of code changed by each user ( backend first ).

5. Responsive Design: Ensure that the leaderboard looks good and functions well on all devices.

6. Performance Optimization: Improve the loading speed and overall performance of the leaderboard section.

Reference Design:
Take inspiration from the leaderboard section on Code Racer. Note the vibrant colors, clear typography, and interactive elements used to create an engaging experience and hover to show latest commits.

Additional Information:
Your feedback and ideas for improving the leaderboard section are welcome. Let's work together to create a leaderboard that motivates users to engage with our platform.

Acceptance Criteria:

• The redesigned leaderboard section should be visually appealing and easy to use.
• Top contributors and their achievements should be highlighted effectively, including GitHub contributions data.
• The leaderboard should work well on different devices and browsers.
• Performance optimizations should be implemented to ensure fast loading times.
• The final design should match our website's theme and brand identity.

Let's collaborate to improve the leaderboard section and create a better user experience for our website visitors.
