[Air-L] Non-software uses of GitHub

Thu Nov 23 08:24:22 PST 2017

Hi Jim et al.,

A consortium led by Consumer Reports is using GitHub to develop a
"Digital Standard" to help guide the future design of consumer software,
digital platforms and services, and Internet-connected products (I was
part of in the initial development of the Standard, though I'm not
involved at this time). More info at https://www.thedigitalstandard.org/.

Cheers,

Nathalie
