• From @jenweber: This is just a heads-up of an upcoming topic. In a couple weeks, we might have a community request for people to try out some features coming in canary. Someone from the framework team will let you know when the feature flags are enabled in master and will share a blurb about it. There will prob be a full blog post to link to.
• Write up on current website update status. Call for contributors, explaining the styleguide and which projects contributors can help with. Ping @mansona when this topic is due for release in the Times
