Build Back Better Act Breakdown

Goal

A collaborative effort to:

1. Outline each section of the Build Back Better Act in a way that's easier to understand, navigate, and search.

2. Summarize the contents of each section as objectively as possible.

Current Status

• copying from source into new md files for each major section/part
  • this'll make it easier for contributors to make manageable contributions
• figuring out file structure and naming conventions - to be added as a Style section in the intro or in a CONTRIBUTING doc

Sources

• https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5376/text
• https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/117/hr5376/text
• https://rules.house.gov/bill/117/hr-5376

Remaining Work

• finish laying out all the original text into sections / subsections
• intro page
• algolia docsearch
• new components
  • glossary (should this be by section?)
  • tag each dollar amount, ideally with the purpose
    • total dollar amounts in a table | purpose | dollars | link |
    • a glossary-style page that lists out each
• plain-English translations of each section/page - should probably be a sub page so that the original can stay separate
• cross-link - when other legislation is referenced, link to that
• style / design / formatting - replace all the default Docusaurus stuff with relevant info
• public, non-Edward repo
• Git{Hub,Lab} pages
  • Deploy to GitHub Pages
• Add a license? Probably closest to BY-NC-SA?
