Here is the project section. It pulls any project in the projects directory that has featured: true in it's yaml front matter. (ex: last column in this formatted yml file )

This looks ok for now, but I think previewing three projects might be a better look. cc/ @VictoriaODell?

Also, open to ideas around what info we should include for the preview of each featured project. Does the CfA Project Stage seem like something good to add? Other labels we might want to add? cc/ @luqmaan

3 projects would be sweet! I can already picture it. I think we should use mockups of the apps and have them inline. Which 3 should we feature now @mateoclarke and @luqmaan ?

I think Instabus and Park equity are 1 and 2 but what about 3?

Texas Appleseed? Recycle ATX?

from the 1/31 core team huddle, it sounds like we should plan to switch to 3 featured projects before go live.

Updated the format of the featured projects display on the homepage. We can switch which specific projects are featured once #47 moves forward and we have more options to pull from.
