[p2pu-dev] to school organizers about short term dev priorities

[Pippa Buchanan]

This is great - so many variables to play with!

I'm intending to stick with a lighter background as I want readability to be
a priority and to leave it neutral as we'll be working on a stronger visual
identity in the future.

I wonder if it's best for the P2PU logo colours to stay consistent
throughout the site no matter what school you're viewing?

It would also be good if we can  modify the highlight colors in the
background of the footer menus.

Here's the SoW page so far:
