1. Accenture, Microsoft, CAT logos not rendering in "organisations involved" section (section 2)

2. The following links give 404s:

• "Read about the SCI achieving ISO standard status →" (url: https://greensoftware.org/articles/en/sci-specification-achieves-iso-standard-status/)

• "Read about the GSF and W3C collaboration →" (url:
  https://greensoftware.org/articles/en/the-green-software-foundation-and-world-wide-web-consortium-w3c-collaborate-to-ad/)

• "Read what the SCI for Web assembly agreed →": (url:
  https://greensoftware.org/articles/en/designing-sci-web-what-we-agreed-and-what-comes-next/)

3. Profile photos for the "people who made it happen" are not rendering. Should display the profile photos of the main contributors to the SCI for Web project.

4. L/R arrows on "related articles" carousel not working on Desktop. Should scroll the carousel L and R. Strangely, this IS working when I view on mobile, but NOT when I view on desktop (tried three browsers: Brave, Vivaldi and Firefox)

5. Minor comment: there are lots of em-dashes in the text, which people often interpret as a signal of AI generated content.

Changes made

Addressed the review feedback in commit a574cf3 on the dev branch:

1. Logos — Already fixed in prior work.

2. 404 links — Verified all timeline source.href values and articleUrl() output use correct URLs (no /en/ prefix). The 404s reported were from before earlier fixes.

3. Profile photos — Added auto-resolve from people.json in the story template so contributor photos render automatically. Also replaced Daniel Schien with Joseph Cook (Head of Research, GSF) who designed and facilitated the AI consensus process. All three contributors (Asim Hussain, Chris Adams, Joseph Cook) now show real headshots.

4. Carousel arrows — Added containScroll: false to the Embla carousel config so arrows work even when all slides are visible on desktop. Also added 2 more related articles (SCI for AI workshop report + ratification) so the carousel now has 5 articles.

5. Em-dashes — Not addressed (cosmetic, low priority).

Additional content improvements:

• New timeline entry — "SCI for AI proves the concept" (early 2025): explains how the rudimentary AI-facilitated workshops for SCI for AI proved the concept before the full assembly model was used for SCI for Web.
• W3C timeline entry — Updated to explain the collaboration focused on running AI-facilitated consensus with SCI for Web, building on lessons from SCI for AI.
• Stats — Replaced W3C stat with "2 standards developed using AI-facilitated consensus".
• Featured quote — Replaced web sustainability quote with Asim Hussain quote about compressing consensus timelines from years to weeks.
• "In their words" quotes — Replaced Henry Richardson quote with Asim's quote; kept the design document tension quote.
• CTA — Changed from "Join the SCI for Web project" to "Participate in a GSF Assembly" pointing to /assemblies/ (made CTA text/link configurable per story so other stories aren't affected).
