2. Edit JCM Kickoff Meeting for the August issue

   Attendees: Anja de Crom, Claudia Weber-Lenck, Brian Teeman, Viviana Menzel, Herman Peeren, Emmanuel Lemor, Louise Hawkins, Richard Gosler

   What did we talk about

   This was a chat meeting to go collect ideas for the August issue - the birthday issue, Joomla turns 21 on the 17th. Creativity flowed and ideas were thrown around, so the issue once again looks good (this must be the most boring team within the whole of Joomla). We have a good number of quality articles in the planning. 
   
   The meeting lasted - wow - a little under two hours.

4. GSoC'26 - Translator Feedback Loop [Week Report #9]

   For an overview of how things are going, see the Kanban board of the project

   ---

   Done this week:

    

   - Built RAG: published translation rules are now retrieved and injected into the translation prompt, so the machine translation follows them (#7, #8, merged).
   - Retrieval works in three tiers: flatten the item's text, one indexed query for the published rules of the target language, then whole word matching, capped so the prompt stays bounded.
   - Live tested it in German across terminology, relevance, the published state gate, preservation and tone.
   - Extended the association backfill to categories, tags and menu items (merged).
   - Improved the translation rule form: the fields shown match the rule type, requiredness is enforced on save, and manual rules are recorded as such (merged, #104).
   - Merged re-translation
