feat: contributor profile pages in the community section have no standard template — each contributor page has a different structure, making it hard to compare contributions and onboard new contributors

[divyanshim27]

🚀 Problem Statement

The community/ directory contains community documentation. RecodeHive actively encourages community contributions through its GSSoC participation and has a Contributors section showing all contributors.

However, based on the project structure, there is no standard template or schema for what a "contributor profile" page should contain. This means:

• Some contributors might have full profiles (bio, skills, social links, contributions list)
• Others have minimal entries (just a GitHub username)
• New contributors don't know what to put in their profile PR
• The site can't programmatically generate contribution stats or badges

Proposed Fix

1. Create a contributor-template.md in community/

<!-- community/contributor-template.md -->
---
id: your-github-username
name: Your Full Name
github: https://github.com/your-username
linkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/your-profile  # Optional
twitter: https://x.com/your-handle              # Optional
avatar: https://github.com/your-username.png
skills:
  - Git
  - Python
  - React
bio: "One to two sentences about yourself and what you're working on."
contributions:
  - "Fixed XYZ bug in the docs pipeline"
  - "Added tutorial on Git rebasing"
---

# Your Name

Brief introduction paragraph...

2. Add a src/data/contributors.ts schema for programmatic use

// src/data/contributors.ts
export interface Contributor {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  github: string;
  linkedin?: string;
  avatar: string;
  skills: string[];
  bio: string;
  contributions: string[];
}

3. Create a Contributors Gallery page component

// src/pages/contributors.tsx
import contributors from '../data/contributors';

export default function ContributorsPage() {
  return (
    <div className="contributors-grid">
      {contributors.map(c => (
        <ContributorCard key={c.id} contributor={c} />
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

This transforms contributor recognition from a static image grid to a searchable, filterable gallery.
