Team Updates

• Gutenberg: @annezazu who provided this update for the Gutenberg working group: Passing on this post hot off the press: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/03/real-time-collaboration/ Otherwise, everything is all about 6.3! Trying to triage as much as possible to get issues into the 6.3 board (like this: * https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/52254 or this:https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/52253). Following the instructions for the Help Test WordPress 6.3 post will go a long way.
• General: @joedolson shared the following updates for a couple of working groups: Joe committed or punted all tickets scheduled for 6.3 last week. Most remaining open issues are at risk, but punting to 6.4 isn’t the end of the world. On themes, I’ve got @Maja Benke connected to @kafleg to start her working on accessibility ready reviews
