Hi,

I just added a review on Github and had a couple of comments which you
mostly addressed here so I'll continue the conversation here. As we didn't
have a review for Chris' stuff this is mostly not about what you added
Justin but about the template itself.

It'd be great if we could have the CSS in some "common" directory so not
everything repeats the basic stuff.

Yes, this is super annoying! Also...it creates a WAR file? There's also
commented out stuff in the pom etc.
The install-deps.sh is for MacOS only and has no documentation, is it
really needed? What for?

I'm in favor of making it anonymous, yes. A similar reason to the @author
tags. This information is prone to go stale as more people contribute to it.

Well, this is my vision and nothing more: Yes, it's in the right place,
mostly. But it shouldn't contain the pom.xml and reveal stuff (template,
css). In my mind we'd have a "content" repository in the "content" folder
(including asciidoc, jpg, mp4 files etc.) and then assemble that with yet
to be designed tools (or shell scripts) in the "sessions" folder which
would hopefully allow us to reuse css and other things.
