We knew you’d ask that and we have you covered! We developed a series of educational videos for both users and developers that are working with Gutenberg. And as a part of Big Bite’s and Amnesty’s shared commitment to giving back to the community, large parts of the project will be released as open source components for anyone to use. More than a new site, this is a framework for applying consistent brand identity, design, and user experience standards to many new sites and for allowing creators to spin up new, powerful sites quickly and with ease. They focused on developing custom blocks and a core theme that serves as the heart of Amnesty’s digital efforts moving forward.

Added to the present edition are chapters describing Franklin's later life, including his term as Minister to France, the foundation of the American Philosophical Society, electrical experiments, his famous epitaph and "La Science du Bonhomme Richard" (a translation by Antoine-Frangois Quitant of Franklin's perennially reprinted "The Way to Wealth or Poor Richard Improved" or "Father Abraham's Speech"). Three further parts, composed by Franklin long after the first part, were published in 1798, 18, but it was not until 1868 that an accurate edition of the complete autobiography in English appeared, edited by John Bigelow from Franklin's original manuscript, which Bigelow had rediscovered in France (that manuscript, presently in the Huntington Library, is described in detail in the Church Catalogue, 1085). Apparently a surreptitious copy was made from that manuscript and after Franklin's death in April 1790, the publisher Buisson, capitalizing on the late American's European reputation, issued the present unauthorized edition, which was immediately translated into German, Swedish and, ultimately, back into English.
