- We are in the last lap for the test handbook completion!
- @sirlouen reported that he had already contacted the Meta team to schedule a date to start syncing and also mentioned that the project is 99.99% complete, and once a date is confirmed, they will complete the final administrative tasks and proceed. @sirlouen also noted that @dd32 was copied in on the communication.
- @sirlouen also shared that he is going to edit all current documentation pages to add a GitHub link and indicate that the pages are outdated. Once the sync is complete, those pages will be removed and replaced with new content. He also mentioned that work can begin on one or two GitHub pages now, starting with the badges page.
