@thisandagain - Assigning you to reassign

[ntlrsk]

@carljbowman or @ascii Should I make a separate issue about (1) making the entire collection of card PDFs to point to and (2) updating the Educator page to say "Tips" rather than "Things to Try"?

[ntlrsk]

I remember now I already created an issue for the cards into a single file: https://github.com/LLK/scratch-www/issues/1308

[carljbowman]

@TheGrits - Would this be something you would be interested in implementing?

[St19Galla]

@TheGrits if you are too busy I can also help :)

[TheGrits]

@carljbowman I'd love to, this sounds like a great project!

@St19Galla Thanks for the offer, but I think I can take this one. 👍

@TheGrits I worked on the original /go page, so feel free to @ ping me with questions.

[TheGrits]

@chrisgarrity Thanks, will do if any questions do arise!

[chrisgarrity]

@TheGrits this would be good to get into the June release (freeze for testing on June 21). If you're going to have time to do it that's great. But if you're busy and won't have time, just let us know.

[TheGrits]

@chrisgarrity I won't be able to get it done for June 21, sorry. (I currently have an internship and was going to do this over the course of the next couple weekends.) Sorry about that!

[chrisgarrity]

@TheGrits No worries, usually things with help-wanted aren't on a time schedule, but then we decided this one would be good to get done soon, so it's on us. We appreciate all your help!

Not closing this one yet because it needs the navigation update in scratchr2
