Fellowship Digital Services: Beta Phase Sprint Notes 13

In this Sprint, we advanced in three main areas: content design, technical architecture and research & testing.

A reminder of the project's focus: this beta project is focused on enhancing existing and implementing a new technology at the RSA called Circle, to help improve how Fellows engage and contribute to the RSA work and collaborate with other Fellows.
