Hi @Natalia_Choconta and @Dean,

Firstly, thank you for posting the Core Contributor updates at the end of each sprint. I’m sure it takes quite a bit of time and effort, so thanks for that. It’s a great way to keep up to date with what’s going on in the Community. 🙌

I’ve been thinking about how we could encourage more Core Contributors to read the updates and get involved in the forum thread - especially considering all the work it takes to put the reports together! I think it might help if we tweaked the formatting of the updates - just to make them easier to skim through and digest.

With this in mind, I decided to experiment using reports from a previous sprint. I’d like to run my suggestions by you and see if you think the formatting changes are worth the effort. If you think that they are, I would be happy to apply the “styling” to your content each sprint (although I’m not quite sure how this would work… we’d need to come up with a plan). The last thing I want is to create more work for you.

Please see the links to the current vs tweaked versions of the reports below:
