Hi,
We have been looking into this component and would like to try and tackle it.
While looking at the current implementation we had a few questions:

• Currently there is a function in global actions that toggles the delete modal. Is it right to assume that instead we should use the openModal action? Like what was done here?
• Non of us have migrated components from Flux to Redux before. Is there something we need to look out for?

We are a group of four students, who are currently taking a course to study open source projects.
My teammates are: @cooltomatos @lmikaellukerad @XinyueWang94

Hi @GitHubJasper,

1. Yes that would be the right way to open the modal
2. I'd take a look at https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/webapp-to-redux.html and then if you have any specific questions let us know here or on our Mattermost instance
