Hi @veniemi1
Here is a simple task to get you started. Please comment to this issue to let us know that you are on to it. Also mark checkboxes to let us know that you did this step.

Preparing:

• First you need to create your fork and sync it - https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/
• Then you need to sync a fork - https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/
• Follow the first 3 steps - http://systers-portal.readthedocs.org/en/develop/develop/contributing.html#make-a-contribution

To the code:

• Start the development server with python systers_portal/manage.py runserver.
• Go to 127.0.0.1:8000 address in your browser.
• If you didn't create a superuser, follow point 10 from https://github.com/systers/portal#setup-for-developers. Then go to 127.0.0.1:8000/admin and login with your superuser credentials (username and password).
• Scroll down to find a section called Community. Click on Communities link, then click on create a new community. Set yourself as the admin of that community. Fill in any dummy data you want for the res of the form.
• Go back to 127.0.0.1:8000 aka Portal landing page.
• In the right corner of the top navigation bar you should see your username. This means you have logged in successfully. Click on it and there should be a dropdown there. Click on "Profile". In the "Membership" box you should see the community you have created and a button that says "Transfer ownership".

The issue is that "Transfer ownership" button has no URL and we need to fix this.
In order to fix this, do the following:

• Open the file portal/systers_portal/templates/users/snippets/membership.html and find the anchor tag (a) that has an empty URL property, in other words href="#".
• We need to replace the # with a valid URL that will allow the user to transfer the ownership of a community. Therefore instead of #, put {% url 'transfer_ownership' community.slug %}. {% %} are special Django template tags that allow us to execute a set of functions inside the HTML code. url is this function of Django template language that constructs a URL based on its name. transfer_ownership is the name of the URL, we have set it up ourselves before in code. And finally community.slug extracts the slug of the community object. This is necessary to let the function know what community we want to manipulate.

Committing and making a pull request.

• Run in the terminal git add systers_portal/templates/users/snippets/membership.html
• git commit -m "add a url to "Transfer ownership" on user profile
• git push origin <the-name-of-your-branch>
• Then follow this guide - http://systers-portal.readthedocs.org/en/develop/develop/contributing.html#make-a-pull-request
