I have some questions:

- is everything underneath "Parking Lot" in the etherpad not needed? (If it is, please let me know where it belongs)

- there are missing links to [bulleted links to Thimble versions of newsletters] in the "Newsletter Archives" which is a subsection in the "Stay connected" section?

- is the section called "Running a Hive event" or "Hosting a Hive event"? it is named differently in different parts of the etherpad

Don't need what's in the parking lot.

Simona, can you add the Thimble newsletter links to the etherpad?

I think the section should be called "Running a Hive event" 

Thanks Sabrina!

Do you have the hive background file seen on the first page of the brand guide 2.0 ( https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-kvWXXvpcRQLXdMZHczVmVUblU/edit ) ?  

I would like to use it as the backgrounds for heading sections for these resource pages.

Also, in the hive templates link to google drive ( https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-kvWXXvpcRQQXA2R2gycThxYlE&usp=sharing&tid=0B-kvWXXvpcRQOF8wM3hHT2RxVlU ) it is missing the "A Hive Event" vertical lockup .ai in its original colours.

Thanks Lainie - You can find the initial mockups on redpen here: https://redpen.io/p/xh6d6beb67b2a8afbb

Please add your comments on the redpens and some more questions below ------

Menu Item: “Resources” will be located in between “Start a Hive” and “Connect”?

A suggestion is If this space is getting tight on the menu, a possibility is to consider integrating “Start a Hive” contents in Getting Started section of the “Resources” page to help streamline the menu bar.

Icons from nounproject: Is it possible for Hive to purchase these icons so we full usage rights without noting attribution somewhere on the site? (I believe they are 1.99 each) If not we can find substitutes from http://fontawesome.io which we use across our webmaker/makerparty and may be a better option in terms cohesiveness and flexibility of use.

Navigation: The resources navigation is on the right side once you go into a subsection of resources. The next/previous buttons are included (overview here: https://redpen.io/gm37e847929518a769).

I made a comment on https://redpen.io/ceef0a3492ef129be4 about the Hive Event vertical lockup (original colours) that is missing.

Thanks Sabrina - I think this looks great. Simona, take a peek too, had a question or two for you in comments there. 

--Yes, Resources should go between "Start a Hive" and "Connect"
--I think we'll have enough space to add the Resources tab on the menu - we want to be sure "Start a Hive" is upleveled since it's a common inquiry.
--Re Icons, it seems like fontawesome is way more limited. I think for $8 it's worth us purchasing. 
--I contacted the designer about a vertical lockup for Hive Event - will ping you when we have it.
