== Planning for discussions on controlled vocabularies ==
Work has begun on planning for a round of discussions with the
Wikimedia community on the controlled vocabulary and taxonomy plans
that Tricia has been drafting. Concrete dates have not yet been
established, but we roughly expect to announce the questions and
request feedback in early August. This would give the community 2-3
weeks to respond with enough time left in the month for the team to
analyze the feedback and report back on our plans for implementation
before the end of the month.
== Last weekly report for the near future ==
This week we are publishing our 82nd Toolhub progress report on meta.
These reports have covered the highs and lows of what we have
attempted and accomplished from the start of the implementation phase
of this project to now.
2022-07-01 was the first day of the Wikimedia Foundation's 2022/2023
fiscal year. In this new year we plan to continue to work to improve
Toolhub, but that work is entering a phase where we need to spend more
time talking to folks from the Wikimedia community who are using
Toolhub, or who we think should be using Toolhub, and less time
implementing new features. Rather than continuing with weekly reports
during this phase we will change to publishing progress reports when
we publish new builds of Toolhub to the production servers or when we
have other useful news to share with our readers.

Report on the Toolhub project for the 3 weeks ending 2022-07-01.

links.
== TL;DR ==
* New production release made
* Future plans
A new quarter and fiscal year just started (at the WMF at least), and we as
a team will be discussing in which direction(s) to take Toolhub. While we
have some ideas, we would always like to hear from tool users and
maintainers. Yes, we're looking at you! File those bugs, swamp us with
feature requests, pitch your coolest ideas.
