Awesome! I'm hoping we can quickly converge on some clean-up guidelines and
section headings.

I was envisioning a single PR that adds new gallery sections. After that
examples would be updated over a long period of time in multiple PRs that
change a few examples at a time. Do you think that all the work should be
done on a parallel branch and merged in one big PR?
