<br></div>Here's a sample of how much better it makes the tutorials we are building re look + feel: <a href="https://keyboardkat.makes.org/thimble/kats-event-reporter-tutorial">https://keyboardkat.makes.org/thimble/kats-event-reporter-tutorial</a><br>
<br>And here are two samples of its styling on two new starter resources <a href="https://webmaker.org/starter-makes">https://webmaker.org/starter-makes</a> being built by me + fuzzy, one for reporting on Hive-style events, and one to log group brainstorms during events. <br>

<div><br></div><div>Given this, how much would you like quick-use styling kits like Makerstrap to be shared widely with our communities, especially Teach the Web focused ones? <br><br></div><div>The pros: It makes starter resources, tutorials and other OERs look great, is easy to explain, and could make mentors' jobs easier in building content.<br>
The cons: It might mean more work for you guys re: maintaining and updating the repo based on community needs and concerns. Alternatively, we could ask community to maintain it together...<br><br></div><div>Would love to hear your thoughts. <br>
