Projects page copy

[gati]

• What kind of projects we look for
• Explain that we have community-led and partner-led
• What it likes to work on a D4D project - (random idea: maybe a community member knows a little video production, and we could get people to record 10-30 second testimonials and we could explain this with a video?)
• Teaser paragraph about each active project, include title, elevator pitch, name(s) of project lead(s), link to public Github repo (if available), public data.world dataset (if available), or public application (if available)

@gati happy to work on this as well!

[gati]

@ehbick01 that's cool with me, but going to hold off on assigning if that's cool, because I know Lillian wanted to pick up some of the copy as well and I don't think she's on GitHub yet

[ehbick01]

Of course! Teamwork makes the dream work!

[gati]

So true

[lilianhj]

I can work on this, if that's okay with you all! :)

[gati]

@lilianhj go for it!

[lilianhj]

Drafted the copy! Sorry if I fumbled the commit process - I'm pretty new to Github.

[gati]

@lilianhj this looks awesome! I just realized we've been using everyone's Slack handle everywhere, which is helpful for people joining the Slack, but occurred to me the project leads might want to use their real names and link to the social media/LinkedIn/whatever on the public site. I've asked the project leads to leave their name and whatever social media links they'd like to use as comments on the issue. :)

Thanks for diving into Github! Process was perfect (impressive that it went so well the first time!) - as we get closer to being finished, we'll probably do "pull requests" (aka PRs). Now that you've gone through the normal commit process you should be fine - I'll DM some instructions for how those work!
