Would you be my mentor?
Hey! I'm a brand-new editor. I've been re-writing the Yeoman page for over a month now. I still have 2 major sections left (actually they will become articles in their own right), before I can say I'm close to done. Before I start them, I would appreciate a quick peer review of what I've done so far. Just a quick look-see to make sure I'm not going off into the weeds... This article has developed some interesting twists & turns along the way. Appreciate any feedback!!
