  1. GSoC'26 - Translator Feedback Loop [Midterm Report]

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

    36 pull requests merged since coding began on May 25. Summary of what has been done:

    - Set up the com_translations component for Joomla 6 (J5-compatible): installer, service providers, database tables for the translation queue, per-language queue states, feedback and rules.
    - Built the translation queue as a grid view: source items as rows, installed target languages as columns, each cell showing that item's translation state.
    - Made the source language configurable in the component options.
    - Built the side-by-side translator feedback editor showing the machine draft next to the source, field by field.
    - Added a "Save & Train" button to the editor: saves the correction into the draft article and stores one feedback row per changed

  5. JCM Kickoff Meeting for the July issue

    Attendees: Anja de Crom, Dan Atrill, Brian Teeman, Serge Billon, Viviana Menzel, Herman Peeren, Christiane Maier-Stadtherr

    What did we talk about

    This was a chat meeting to go collect ideas for the June issue. Since we had a lot of content for the June issue, we've moved a few articles from June to July, and together with the articles that were proposed today, we have around 15 articles for June, which is good.

    Anja has had the annual JCM Happiness Talk with most of the team members. The outcome is everyone is happy working for JCM (which is great, because Anja is happy with each and every team member, and it would be kind of sad if this weren't mutual). Contributors and regular authors who want to have The Talk as well can contact Anja to schedule one.

    The meeting lasted a little under 60 minutes.
