Hey everyone,

FYI D8MI information was just updated on the d8 updates page! Go check it out: http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core#d8mi

Gabor is working hard with some awesome people (Jose, YesCT, Sutharsan & some cool people in switzerland -- I'm looking at you), and you can find places to help him the most here: http://hojtsy.hu/d8mi/focus

Hop to it!

Feature Freeze is creeping up on D8 faster than you think, so now's a great time to go check out how to help D8 core development initiatives!

Read all about it here: http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core

That page will tell you:
- what D8 Initiative owners and contributors are up to
- the most important places you can help right now
- thank yous to special snowflakes who have helped
- general information and links for each initiative

Though Initiative Owners are doing a fantastic job of keeping up with their individual initiatives, we've recently heard that the community would like more visibility on D8 progress in general. We've been trying to find the right format and we've got something for you to check out! http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core

The D8 team of Initiative Owners and its supporters want to make it easier for you to find the most important issues to work on, so we've put together a summary page that we'll be updating it every two weeks, and more frequently on an as-needed basis.

Last Wednesday I had a Skype conversation with Angie Byron (webchick), Francesco Placella (plach), Gábor Hojtsy and Jose Reyero to discuss how we are going to implement multilingual functionality in the Drupal 8 configuration system. For a little background, the configuration management system will be using XML files to store configuration. These files will be loaded into an 'active store' (the database by default, but pluggable) which will act as the source for configuration at all times.
