Update: Have reached out to a few people:

-- Steve's edits are already finished: https://stevekirkendall.makes.org/thimble/world-wide-wow-discover-how-you-can-make-cool-things-for-the-web

-- Colin is working on his edits

-- Sally has agreed and is trying to get edits done this week

-- Jeannie is in, I have to remix her page and then she'll remix my remix (just haven't had time yet).

-- I've contacted Philip and Heather but haven't yet got a response. 

Thinking for MVP we should go with 5, not 10, from community to avoid blockers.

Matt, thoughts on:

Activity:
Welcome to Meemo by Forrest Oliphant and the Meemo team:
http://meemoo.org/iframework/#gist/5110822

Question: Do we make a page for this? (Forrest outlines his goals with Meemo here: https://thimble.webmaker.org/p/lu2v/ ) Or do we make a thumbnail and link out? Meemo has other activities at: http://meemoo.org/hack-our-apps/

What if instead of making a remixable page, we just make a thumbnail/description for Meemoo and just run it by Forrest. Links directly to Meemoo activity?

Thoughts? This would be the 1st time webmaker.org links to an external tool/project

We'll need to contact these mentors again with another thank you and a notice when their stuff is live.

@Matt - we will publish/featured these as is, correct?

Comment 11

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

@ Laura: yes, lets publish "as is" -- but bear in mind that the key requirement here is *quality.* So as long as you feel they're of high quality.
* if you think there's opportunities to suggest *light* edits, I think that's fine, too. 
* does that work?

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

@ Laura: should we mark this one fixed, and file new bugs going forward?
