Launch Checklist about mips

[ozan]

@kytrinyx FYI we have 10 problems now. We'll keep adding more over time, but it'd be great to get feedback from users along the way. Also for now Myles and I are happy to check in daily to review solutions. Let me know if you have any suggestions about a language logo :)

[kytrinyx]

That was fast! For the logo if there's nothing obvious you can just make something up. If there is a logo, then check out the licensing on the logo—if it's too complicated, make something up (we did that for Java).

Where things are modifiable with attribution, I try to either use a grayscale version, sometimes adding in some pink. I'm terrible at graphics, and after losing a day of my life trying to figure out how to change colors in images I wrote a script that rewrites PNGs, replacing colors based on hex values passed to the command line interface. https://github.com/kytrinyx/twotone It's not awesome but it will do the job.

The exercism black color is 212121. The pink is D81D4E.

@ozan @quackingduck I've added both of you as track mentors on the MIPS track.

Ok done! 😄 8d3defd. Want me to make a PR to add it to exercism/exercism.io too?

[kytrinyx]

Perfect! Yeah, if you would add it to exercism/exercism.io as well... we can launch this today and I'll mention it in tomorrow's newsletter.

[kytrinyx]

I sent out the newsletter this morning. I'll tweet about it when the track goes live (cough softlaunch cough) and then I'll stick it in the newsletter next week.

Closing as the announcement newsletter has gone out, thanks @kytrinyx !
