The team responsible for the Gather extension [0] kicked off their new sprint yesterday. sprint `Greatest Hits` [1] after finishing sprint `Forward` completing 33.5 story points (3.5 more than we planned).
As well as the usual polish, this sprint we will be doing lots of thinking around the topics of flagging [2] and subscribing [3] for the backend for the Gather feature. These will help steer our architecture in the right direction. Please join the conversation.
In addition to this we are planning to make some changes to target some of our users and encourage them to opt into our beta site to grow our audience there for beta testing so we can reach more users than we have historically been able to [2].
