@amanda-phet is this checklist useful to us anymore now that we have a published prototype? Just trying to clean up issues by closing non-useful ones.

[amanda-phet]

I am not 100% sure what the process is for prototype to full publication. Do we normally make a new checklist for the full sim? Looking at what is checked off, I think this is still useful, since many of these things aren't actually completed.

[amanda-phet]

Assigning to @samreid and @catherinecarter as someone will need to be on top of checking off items as we near final publication.

[samreid]

Will we publish (non-prototype) after "Spread" screen, or will there still be a 4th "Lab" screen?

[catherinecarter]

There will no longer be a 4th "lab" screen. Once the "Spread" screen is complete, we will publish.

The sim has been published. I believe last steps are post-mortem. https://github.com/phetsims/center-and-variability/issues/597
