Yes, this is correct.

Not yet. Sayan is perhaps best to know what current work is most needed
from a development POV. I hope by starting this conversation we can find
someone willing to mentor, and we could scope the work once there is a
confirmed interest.

To be transparent, I don't anticipate having time to work directly on
this. But there was interest from our discussion at Flock and there is a
need for more development interest and focus on Tahrir. I hoped to start
this discussion as one avenue to source more development interest on
this stack.

The work would be mostly focused around revamping the UI of Tahrir, so
the idea was to get a frontend developer for the Outreachy program. I
was hoping if Ryan has time to mentor that would be amazing because he
has the idea of Fedora Bootstrap and design as well.

The badges quest is something which has been around but it has not
been integrated with the UI. It would be really great to have mockups
for the work and then integrating with the tahrir-web.
