Request for feedback: Team goals check

As we enter Q2 of 2021, it seems appropriate to check where we are with the action items set for Q1 and Q2 in our Team goals for this year. Is there something that is already accomplished, moving faster or slower than we thought and how those action items are moving forward in general?

If you are working with some action item or do know the progress of one, please leave an update in the comments. Also, please tell if there are any blockers or if you’d like to get help moving the action item forward. This way we can, as a community, know better where to direct our efforts. If you are interested in helping with some of the action items, share that with us and we’ll get you started!

The action items for Q1 & Q2 we set to ourself are:
