User story

As a NSF user, I would like to see a first draft of the content style guide so I can understand how this will affect me and integrate into current and future brand guidelines.

Acceptance criteria

• [x] Get newly updated guide from NSF (Ellen)
• [x] Lightweight gap analysis (ID places where brand-principles-influenced content could be added)
• [x] Start work on content style guide (Kate) - may take longer than just one sprint, but we can begin tracking now...
• [x] Gather any additional style guides beyond the ones NSF has already shared with us (in progress)
• [x] Identify main sections/themes to be addressed in new guide (considering how these map to the brand principles)
• [x] Set up templates for those sections
• [x] Share insights with NSF for feedback
• [x] Start writing!

Caveat: Some of the style guide content will depend on which direction we go with (but I can start drafting some now).

@OpenGlobe This looks good to me! As I mentioned in standup today, I posted in the partners channel asking if there are any other guides/documents I need to consider as I start work on this one.

@OpenGlobe An update on this — based on NSF's feedback, I did not start on a comprehensive style guide. I did create content style tiles (a more lightweight version of a style guide), which I'll be sharing during today's demo.

Per this week's sprint planning meeting: OLPA has just released a new content style guide, which Ellen shared with me yesterday. Yesterday, I reviewed the guide and did a lightweight gap analysis, though which I identified topics to add/modify (based on our research + workshop outcomes). Today, I wrote a first draft of recommendations on how the guide could incorporate our brand principles. Just shared the draft with @austinhernandez and @OpenGlobe in our channel.

An update on this issue — on Friday, 6/15, I shared a draft of the interactive content guide ("appendix") in the partners channel; this appendix would complement the existing OLPA writing and editing guide. I'm still waiting for NSF feedback on the appendix — my plan is to incorporate feedback once I get it and keep iterating on the appendix.

During this morning's abbreviated standup, Ellen let me know that she shared the recommendations doc with Rob, who is currently reviewing it. We're still waiting for feedback on the content appendix (for now).
