V5 Kit Development Now Underway

We kicked off the V5 Kit development with a very successful brainstorming meeting identifying the impacted parties and what they might care about from a kit. The Kit Team / Committee are going to schedule in some regular, more narrow-focused meetings to discuss some of these areas. If you're interested in helping out, keep an eye on SR(A)WN and #kit-team / #v5-kit in Slack for updates.
