+## Hybrid format: In-person hubs and online participation
+
+This hackathon will follow a **hybrid format** with in-person local hubs and online participation.
+Based on feedback from previous events, we're making some changes to improve the experience for everyone:
+
+:::warning{title="Important: Choosing your project"}
+
+Collaboration across different sites and time zones can be challenging, and we want to make sure everyone has a great experience.
+To ensure the best experience, we're making recommendations to **limit split projects** across multiple locations.
+
+**When choosing a project:**
+
+- Each project will have a primary location (a specific hub or "online")
+- Project leaders will be present and attentive at their specified location throughout the hackathon, in person or online
+- If you attend a specific hub, we strongly recommend choosing a project based at the site you'll be attending
+
+If you're attending online, we suggest you join projects marked as "online" or consider projects at hubs in your time zone.
+
+:::
+
+### Strengthening online presence
+
+We're aiming to improve the online experience:
+
+- More core team members, maintainers, and other community leaders will provide online coverage throughout the event
+- Continued attention and presence to ensure it doesn't feel empty when people join
+- Improved online platform and communication tools (more details coming soon)
+
+### In-person local hubs
+
+We encourage ambassadors and community members to organize in-person local hubs.
+Seqera will support local hubs with sponsorship as in previous years.
+These hubs are invaluable for community building and collaborative work.
+
+:::tip{title="Tips for cross-site collaboration"}
+
+If you still want to collaborate across sites, here are some recommendations:
+
+- Spanning time zones makes it easier (e.g., projects with morning/evening overlap)
+- Booking a dedicated room at your local site might be needed for video calls
+- Having more than one person doing the same project at your site is highly recommended

+Contribute to the final push for releasing V2 of the nf-core documentation with quality control, link fixes, and content refinement.
+
+## Goal
+
+Work towards completing the final quality control phase of the nf-core documentation v2 release, fixing links, filling content gaps, and helping the documentation meet our new standards.
+
+:::note{title="Sneak peak"}
+Check out the [docs-v2 deploy preview](https://nf-core-docs-v2.netlify.app/).
+:::
+
+## Description
+
+James and Chris have almost completed the migration of existing documentation into the new styled documentation set.
+Content has been migrated with the newly developed style guide applied and restructured to make finding information more intuitive.
+
+This project focuses on the critical quality control phase:
+
+- Fixing broken or outdated links throughout the documentation
+- Identifying and filling content gaps discovered during migration
+- Reviewing migrated content for clarity and consistency
+- Validating that the new structure works effectively
+- Polishing documentation to meet the new quality standards
+- Creating new content where opportunities are identified
+
+With the rapid initial migration complete, we need careful review and refinement to help make the v2 documentation launch as successful as possible and improve the user experience.
+
+:::note{title="Great first issues"}
+This project is suitable for newcomers to nf-core and open source contributions. We expect to have many "great first issues" available to help you get started.
+:::
+
+## Tasks
+
+- Review sections for broken links and fix them
+- Identify and document content gaps
+- Review migrated content for quality and consistency
+- Test navigation and documentation structure
+- Create new content to fill identified gaps
+- Validate examples and code snippets
+- Ensure style guide compliance across pages
