Hi Quim,

I'm glad to see the tasks about 3D files in there. Open license 3D files
were a need mentioned at WCONUSA for GLAMs.

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the Education Exension's
problems. Any chance of getting Developer Relations resources in making
that code at least secure and maintainable enough to keep it deployed on
its current wikis in the short term and in order to buy some time for
development of long term solutions?

I want to express moral support for anything related to improving the code
review experience, which seems to be a pinch point in multiple workflows
and I hear is a subject of frequent concern. I would support finding
additional budget resources (preferably through internal transfer rather
than new expenditure) to address this problem if analysis shows that
transferring or adding some resources (maybe 0.5 FTE?) would make a
meaningful difference.

Can you provide a brief update on how the deployment is going of the
Newsletter extension?

Thanks!
Pine
