[Ground-station] "Available Work" section of the website

[anshul makkar]

Thanks Michelle for bringing this up. That's an important point you have raised.

When I joined the team a few months back, there was a lot of
material/documentation available to ramp up and study, but what was
missing was a simple well defined task list to work on. It took some
time for me to understand the current tasks going on in the project
and to find my piece.

Having a well defined list of challenging problems adds a motivation
factor and allows the contributor to contribute in much efficient
manner.

I think, based on our group's style of working where most are
volunteering, kanban style would be more effective. Trello is leaner
than github so my vote goes is for it.

Thanks
