The change modifies the _handle_team_join function in website/views/slack_handlers.py to enhance the welcome message for new users. The update expands the message with additional guidance, including prompts to look for "good first issues," directions to a bounties page for paid bug hunting opportunities, a new "Google Summer of Code 2025" section for joining the GSoC channel and connecting with mentors, and an "OWASP Projects Overview" that outlines project categories and provides a command for up-to-date statistics. No changes to public declarations were made.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
- I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
- Generate unit testing code for this file.
- Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
- @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
- @coderabbitai modularize this function.
PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
- @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
- @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
- @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
- @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

@krrish-sehgal Yes, this PR correctly fixes issue #3855. I've reviewed both the issue requirements and your changes, and your implementation addresses all the requested improvements:

Added comprehensive GSoC 2025 information with project channels
Listed the mentors for each project
Added OWASP project statistics and maturity level information
Improved contribution guidance
Included the link to the BLT bounties page

The welcome message is now much more informative and should be exactly what was requested in the issue.

244-252: Consider making the GSoC information more maintainable.

While the GSoC 2025 information is valuable, hard-coding specific mentor names and project details might create maintenance challenges when mentors change or new GSoC cycles begin.

Consider extracting this information to a configuration or database that can be easily updated, especially since it will need yearly updates for new GSoC cycles.

-                        ":small_blue_diamond: *Google Summer of Code 2025:*\n"
-                        "• Join the *#gsoc* channel for GSoC program discussions and announcements.\n"
-                        "• Connect with project mentors in their respective project channels:\n"
-                        "  - *#project-blt*: Mentored by Donnie, Yash Pandey (Bug Logging Tool)\n"
-                        "  - *#project-juice-shop*: Mentored by Bjoern Kimminich, Shubham Palriwala, Jannik Hollenbach\n"
-                        "  - *#project-devsecops-mm*: Mentored by Timo Pagel, Aryan Prasad (DevSecOps Maturity Model)\n"

-                        "  - *#project-securecb*: Mentored by Jannik Hollenbach, Robert Felber (secureCodeBox)\n"
-                        "• View all GSoC project ideas at: <https://owasp.org/www-community/initiatives/gsoc/gsoc2025ideas>\n\n"
+                        f":small_blue_diamond: *Google Summer of Code {gsoc_year}:*\n"
+                        "• Join the *#gsoc* channel for GSoC program discussions and announcements.\n"
+                        "• Connect with project mentors in their respective project channels:\n"
+                        f"{gsoc_mentors_text}"
+                        f"• View all GSoC project ideas at: <{gsoc_ideas_url}>\n\n"

This would require variables like gsoc_year, gsoc_mentors_text, and gsoc_ideas_url to be defined earlier, possibly from a configuration source.

253-259: Consider making the project statistics dynamic.

The hardcoded statement "OWASP has 100+ active security projects" might become outdated as the number of projects changes.

Since you're already using the /stats command to show up-to-date statistics, consider making the welcome message reference the current count dynamically.

-                        "• OWASP has 100+ active security projects across different maturity levels:\n"
+                        f"• OWASP has {project_count}+ active security projects across different maturity levels:\n"

This would require fetching the current project count from your database, similar to what's done in the /stats command implementation.

241-259: Great enhancement to the welcome message!

The additions provide valuable information for new users, particularly about contribution opportunities, GSoC 2025, and project categorizations. This will help newcomers get oriented and involved more quickly.

242-243: Helpful contribution guidance for newcomers.

Adding concrete information about finding 'good first issues' and the bounties page provides clear actionable steps for new members, which is excellent for user onboarding.
