Project Updates

HelpHub Redesign

Update from @estelaris – There are no updates on the HelpHub redesign project yet but estelaris still need help with articles link review. All the articles must be reviewed, most are fine and few are not, and those few are the cause of plenty of fix-link requests.

Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” @estelaris. The task is only to identify the wrong links and there is a team in charge of approving and updating the links. @ashiquzzaman showed interest to review the articles
