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
