March 2nd update
Reminder: this is mostly about our current work. The team size has changed a lot in recent weeks and we have a lot of new people in the team. Not to mention the fact that no one is full time nor working on regular hours. This makes it super difficult to estimate when the item listed below will be ticked off.
