I'd like to encourage participants to work in a problem-oriented way. Approaching a project more like

1. identifying what problem they want to solve
2. identifying a number of options for addressing the problem
3. implementing on one or more of those options

as opposed to just diving into tech and solutions.

I think one way to do that is to make the process of defining the project guide them that way.

What I have in mind is to add two more project description sections to the current single description section. These two would be rendered with the h1 headings

• Problem statement
• Potential solutions

The current description box would be headed

• Additional information

What are your thoughts on the idea and the proposed implementation? Is this something you'd be interested in merging?

Perhaps the functionality should be optional - not sure if it should be on by default for new dashboards.

Haven't forgotten this - happy to move the issue to our fork and check back in here when it's done, or just leave this open and we'll PR against it when we're ready.
