Remove unused alt-hero field from open-community-survey.md project file

[JessicaLucindaCheng]

Overview

As a developer, I want to make sure unused code is removed from the codebase in project cards so that

• time to load the website is as low as possible,
• it's easier to understand the code, and
• time to review the code is reduced.

Details

In project md files, image-hero is a decorative background image and alt-hero is the alt text associated with image-hero. However, alt-hero text is not used anywhere in our codebase since the image-hero is used as an SCSS background image.

Moreover, if the image-hero were to be used in an img HTML tag in the future, the alt text for all the image-hero images would be alt="", which could be set programmatically for all the alt properties associated with each image-hero.

Action Items

• For the file _projects/open-community-survey.md, remove line 8 for the alt-hero

alt-hero: 'Silhouette of buildings and houses with different colors, shapes and styles.'

This issue is QAed and is fine.

While I was QAing this issue, I realized that there is also alt text in the markdown project files for the image we use on the homepage and on the mini card.

1. We have to make an epic to clean those up so that they are WCAG compliant in case we do need to use them
2. Some of the images contain text that is not conveyed in the text below the images on the home & project pages (heart, vrms, etc.). We are using the alt text on the home and project page (same include).

This whole thing was resolved by changing the alt text for vrms to "Volunteer Relationship Management (VRMS)" in the spreadsheet related to this issue.
