gbc newsletter -- where / how these will be posted on the website

[christinerogers]

Pedro's team is drafting quarterly newsletters - this will be a pdf. Their first newsletter is likely going out this week, it's likely you'll upload the first one to the website, under News&Events, but we want to plan a smooth way for them to do it next time ---

This means on of Pedro's team will add/upload a card and PDF on github.
We're going to need an easy solution for this so please think ahead -- can a PDF be linked/loaded in one click from a nunjucks card?

• [ ] is this already supported in the markdown available?
• [ ] if not, what's needed?
• [ ] what contributor instructions do we need to provide for this to work smoothly? thanks @3design

• The njk files for the news and events resources is not compatible with markdown. The excerpt field only supports plain text with no special characters such as colons or asterisk.
• the instruction to create a new card are included in the README on the code page. Basically it just requires duplicating an existing njk file in the 'resources' folder, changing the name of the njk file, then filling out the information in the template. See README for more details
• I will add a section in the README for adding PDF files and images to new cards, specifically for the upcoming newsletters
