Hey @tmorrell ! I'm working with the sprint team to check in on projects. This looks great, lots of repos though. You might think about adding a few more easy issues to your issues queue, in one particular repo, we're trying for at least 5 #mozsprint issues per project.

It could be as simple as reviewing project documentation, or responding to some discussion idea, low pressure, but just wanted to check in; trying to make it super easy for people to parse projects and contribute. Thanks!

[tmorrell]

Thanks @auremoser - we're going to be adding more #mozsprint issues to https://github.com/AuthorCarpentry/planning/issues soon. We're currently working on getting more of the lesson content up for sprint participants to look at.
