About Project
I worked on the redesign of the user experience and interface of the Fedora Community App. The Fedora App is a central location for Fedora users and innovators to stay updated on The Fedora Project. I revamped the design of the application from ground up to match the community standards and improve the overall experience.

I very much appreciate your efforts, Fedora has been my favourite distribution since 2006.
I too write code (some utilities), and would like to share.
My most recent project was to proof read three git repositories, checking and correcting them on my own computer. I started in April and completed the grammar checking and touchups on 6 August. Its been very hard work, which I hope will be accepted.
What did I edit?

I am not a git expert, but in the past, I was an author for commercial ERP publications. My editor who reviewed my writings, taught me a lot about slang, sentence structure, use of commas, and so many other good writing rules. I applied what he taught me to the above.
