"Americana" stack for US Federal web sites?

[lpsinger]

We have been using Remix at NASA: we have an open data site for astronomers called General Coordinates Network (GCN, https://gcn.nasa.gov). There are a couple of things that we have added on top of Remix for building a US Federal web site: the US Web Design System (USWDS) for styling, the react-uswds React component kit, and some hosting defaults that make sense at least at NASA.

We are preparing to run a small boot camp at NASA on modern web development for scientists, and it occurs to us that we should package up our Remix + USWDS tech stack as a template. Would Remix be interested in us contributing this as an official Remix stack?

I already thought of a name for it: Americana.

AFAIK Remix only provides three stacks and the idea is that individuals and organizations can create their own stacks (private or public) and publish them to GitHub.

I think you should publish it under the NASA organization (or any other US government organization on GitHub) and then share it with the Remix community!

We also recommend adding the remix-stack tag to the GitHub repo for better visibility by the community

Here's a very rough first draft: https://github.com/nasa-gcn/americana-stack
