Hi @Syed-Ansar, thank you for your interest on the UNICEF Open Source Inventory! I already assigned this issue to me because it is an article I wanted to write with a specific vision in mind. It comes from feedback I have working with UNICEF Innovation Fund start-up companies. It is better to find other things to work on.

Are you more interested in writing content, or working on code and UI/UX? If you are more interested in the coding side, you may want to check out the repo for the Hugo theme used to power this website instead.

Also, as a note, I am out of office this week so I will be slow to reply. Next week, I will be back online and can better respond to queries for help.

Yes! I am interested in coding. Yesterday I tried to setup repository on my local computer but I was not able to do correctly. So would be happy if I get any help from your side. Thank you @jwflory

@Syed-Ansar I think this intern on-boarding guide will be useful until I am back in the office and can troubleshoot more questions:
