[evergreen-outreach] annual report draft

Tue Apr 2 17:10:03 EDT 2024

Looking good!

I disagree about the hyphenations - "standalone" could be one word though.
A quick glance through our existing website shows that we're not actually
consistent with this at all.

Anyway, not the hill to die on.

I like the addition of the caffeinated cookies, but maybe label the
picture? Otherwise it's not clear what those are, even with the text on the
facing page.

I can give it a more careful read if needed but I am on the road.
