@amyleadem - I took a quick look at the demo repo. Wow, it looks really great—thank you for all the work you have put into this!

Some minor feedback on the README file:

• Just the first couple of heading could be more descriptive. Sharing some ideas below, although I am not 100% satisfied with these – would love for others to weigh in:
  o “Overview of the contribution process” instead of “About”
  o “Ways to contribute” instead of “Contribution”
  o “Help with GitHub” instead of “Contribution support”

• The link to “A proposal template” under “Contribution” (in the bulleted list) is broken

After the success we had with content testing on the critical checklists, I wonder if we could do something similar here. If Jacline doesn’t have the bandwidth, perhaps it is something the content strategy team could help with—although I know we have a lot on our plates right now, so we would need to prioritize as a team.

Decision per 2/6 Component Lifecycle Proposals working session: we'll use Discussions to capture proposals.
