@ExperimentsInHonesty
For my example I used the LA Metro Health Monitor project
Project card on homepage

metro-ontime.md code snippit:

looking: 
  - Frontend Developers (React, D3) 
  - Backend Developers (Python, Pandas)

current-projects.html logic code snippit:

                  {%- if item.looking -%}
                    <div class="project-needs">
                      <strong>Looking for: </strong>
                        {% for role in item.looking %}
                          {% if forloop.last == false %}
                            <p style='display:inline;'>{{ role }}, </p>
                          {% else %}
                            <p style='display:inline;'>{{ role }}</p>
                          {% endif %}
                        {% endfor %}
                    </div>
                  {%- endif -%}

I avoided putting the styling rule in a class because I wanted to avoid making a class for just one rule.

This is the code for displaying links

{%- if item.links -%}
                    <div class="project-links">
                      <strong>Links: </strong> 
                        {%- for item in item.links -%} 
                          <a href={{ item.url }} rel="noopener" target='_blank'> {{ item.name }}</a>{%- if forloop.last == false -%},
                          {%- endif -%}
                        {%- endfor -%}

progress report is

1. Progress - mostly done, will update based on comments (making it similar to existing links section)
2. Blocks - none
3. Availability - sunday/monday no problem.
4. ETA 2/10

Update with revisions in code @ExperimentsInHonesty. The code is written to be identical to the way it is implemented in the links section.

Screenshot:

Revision in code:

                  {%- if item.looking -%}
                    <div class="project-needs">
                      <strong>Looking for: </strong>
                        {% for role in item.looking %}
                          <p style='display:inline;'> {{ role }}</p>{% if forloop.last == false %},
                          {% endif %}
                        {% endfor %}
                    </div>
                  {%- endif -%}

@ExperimentsInHonesty I totally forgot if we talked about this/made a decision last night, but is my example/code clear to go? Should I add it to the rest of the project cards?

@KianBadie I am not Bonnie but I think your code looks good.
