We should move this file under imports/data directory, and break it down to two files,
The scope of the private directory is limited to server side only.

very roughly :

imports/data/flags.json and imports/data/contributors.json

[
  {
     name: 'xyz',
     avatar: 'http://link or gravater',
     intro: 'lorem ipsum',
     socials:[
         {website: 'URL'},
         {twitter: '@handel'},
     ....
     ],
     type: 'code'
  },
   ....
]

on about page you can load this json files with their relative path

imports contributors from 'imports/data/contributors.json'

with the help of the helper function contributors can be passed to the template

`contributors : function() { return contributors }`

and then we can iterate over it using
{{#each contributors}} {{/each}} block.

To display contributors into their respective section we can use equals template helper {{#if equals type 'code'}}

I do not see imports/data directory in the project. Should I create it? thanks.

Yes, imports directory is a part of a new directory structure suggested in meteor guide, our migration to the new directory structure is long over due.

Noted. Will get this done before Sunday.
