Webmaker #teachtheweb team: The Next 100 Days

This page outlines what the Webmaker Teach the Web team will have accomplished by Sept. 4, which is 100 days after we met and made this plan on May 27. The purpose is to share what we're working on and give us focus, so that in 100 days, we will have achieved the goals below.
