Hello, Mukulika!

Your project seems very ambitious! My advice would be to focus on one of
two of those items and really spend some time on them. For example, items 1
and 5 could come together, or items 3 and 4 (we are working on item 2 and
welcome contributions, but that may be a smaller task at this point). It
depends on what you would like to focus on: writing new content or
revamping existing content.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

- Melissa
