Implement volunteer coordination --- ## Files to Create/Modify ### Backend ``` bugulma/backend/internal/handler/community_handler.go # NEW bugulma/backend/internal/routes/community.go # NEW bugulma/backend/migrations/postgres/020_community_features.up.sql # NEW bugulma/backend/internal/handler/discovery_handler.go # MODIFY (implement CreateCommunityListing) bugulma/backend/internal/routes/routes.go # MODIFY (add community routes) ``` ### Frontend ``` bugulma/frontend/pages/CommunityImpactPage.tsx # NEW bugulma/frontend/pages/SuccessStoriesPage.tsx # NEW bugulma/frontend/pages/CommunityNewsPage.tsx # NEW bugulma/frontend/pages/CommunityEventsPage.tsx # NEW bugulma/frontend/services/community-api.ts # NEW bugulma/frontend/components/community/ # NEW (various components) bugulma/frontend/src/AppRouter.tsx # MODIFY (add routes) bugulma/frontend/components/layout/TopBar.tsx # MODIFY (add nav links) bugulma/frontend/components/layout/Footer.tsx # MODIFY (add nav links) ``` --- ## Conclusion **Current State**: Only ~10% of planned community features are implemented. The foundation exists (domain model, repository, search), but all user-facing features and most backend endpoints are missing. **Priority**: Focus on Phase 1 features (Impact Dashboard, Success Stories, News, Events) as outlined in `COMMUNITY_FEATURES_QUICK_WINS.md`. These are high-impact, medium-effort features that can drive community engagement. **Estimated Effort**: - Phase 1 completion: 4-6 weeks - Full proposal implementation: 4-6 months --- **Report Generated**: 2025-01-27 **Next Review**: After Phase 1 implementation
