[evergreen-outreach] annual report draft

Tue Apr 2 10:17:37 EDT 2024

This looks awesome! Great job!

I have a few nitpicky punctuation suggestions, though some may just be
personal preferences or differing opinions on something being an adjective
or a noun...

In the "Our Mission" section:
1. While either way is acceptable, we hyphenate open-source everywhere
else, so we probably should here also, for consistency
2. Same paragraph, hyphenate back-end
3. Next paragraph, hyphenate stand-alone
4. Third paragraph, I'm a proponent of the Oxford comma ;-) (Also, we use
it elsewhere.)

In Ruth's section:
There should be commas around "hosted by CW Mars and the Worcester Public
Library" (also the MARS should be all-caps)

In the Release Trees section:
1. I'm not a fan of using the "th" or whatever after dates when also using
the year...so, for instance, May 30th or May 30, 2023, but not May 30th,
2023
2. Hyphenate Multi-Word in "Multi Word Search Suggestions"

That's all I have! :-)

Best,
Debbie
