feat: contributors page

[arashsheyda]

it would be nice to have the contributors showen in website. we can have a seperate page to show all the contributors and a section in the homepage, something like this maybe:

note: we can fetch the contributors using github api.

Hi, I would love to work on the contributors page.

[ajyong]

@riyaahsp did you message me on Meetup? I can't reply on Meetup (due to privacy settings? It's confusing) but I am assuming this is you; if so, you can thank @arashsheyda for assigning you, which means it's less likely someone else will work on this. (That said, given how open-source works, it's a balance of quality and who contributes first.)

Hey @MandyMeindersma,

I spoke to @riyaahsp a few weeks ago about taking this, and she's okay with it. I'm going to do this with students and I'm going to open it back up.

It would be awesome to show maintainers on our website here.

I have a proposal of what we can do for the landing page 👀

Wireframe:

Widget Functionality:

• the mini icons will redirect users to the contributor's GitHub profile or web portfolio, like in the DES repo page. (Though not 100% if collaborator links are included in the API response).

• The "learn more" button will route to the contributors page that @arashsheyda proposed above.

I took inspiration and stole the mini icons from webpacks site (https://webpack.js.org/) 🤭

(P.S. Copywriting is not my passion, so feel free to revise and expand on the verbiage.)

@johnjovero98 I love it. great work!
(maybe use primary or secondary colour for the borders around the image)

[dgmouris]

@johnjovero98 I love it too! great work.

For the contributors' page, should we discuss getting people to contribute to the site and include a link to this repo, or just the contributors themselves.

What do you think folks?

That might be a discussion later on but I think this is awesome @johnjovero98

[arashsheyda]

@dgmouris I was thinking for contributors page to show all the contributors (because the old design was showing the first 19 contributors at first) and then have a page about contribution guide where we explain somethings briefly (e.g. how to open a PR, how to set a title, commit message, (I really like Conventional Commits 😄) DES folder structure, tech stack and so on)

what do you all think?

[arashsheyda]

@dgmouris also one other thing I noticed is that we're using a bot to generate the contributors list in the repository's README. however, sometimes we can forget to call the bot, which results in some contributors being left out, would it be a good idea to embed the contributors list directly from the website into the README? or just add a link to the website and remove the contributors list from readme

[MandyMeindersma]

I think we should just kill allcontributors 😬

The contributors are listed in the side by the readme anyways. I hate having to do the extra PR

[arashsheyda]

@MandyMeindersma I agree 😄
