I like this page structure. I see it as more engaging to the people
reading the page too. Given some time to research it, I think this is
something that we could work on in CommOps.

I've wanted this functionality for a long time but needs dedicated
development time full-time. If not, then an active effort is needed to
create a roadmap with easyfixes rolled in to attract contributors.

In retrospect, all of this sounds like a good GSoC proposal. Not sure if
it's too late to expand on the idea and find a mentor for it.

+1. Super helpful for writing even outside of the Fedora community or
for anyone that wants to highlight a call to action to participate.

I'm interested in all the above, but skeptical to whether all pieces are
solvable by CommOps.
