💪 I have worked on...

• WP-A: I wrote a few pages for the recently merged Specifications section in conda.org. I updated Create specifications and schemas for the foundational building blocks of the conda ecosystem #4 with a Mermaid diagram that shows the interdependencies between submitted PRs. Added some more path details regarding activation.
• WP-B: Started Diátaxis reorganization in conda-forge.org. First draft at https://conda-forge.org/docs/diataxis.
• WP-C: I also caught wind of the osx-64 runner deprecation in GHA, and sent PRs to update all affected repositories in conda, conda-incubator and conda-forge to macos-15-intel. There was yet another HackMD integration breakage that needed fixing. Community members identified that we were still linking to the archived conda Discourse forum in several places of our documentation and online presence, so I also sent fixes for that, redirecting to Zulip instead.

I'd like to keep iterating on the Diátaxis reorganization and hopefully attend the reviews that would have arrived for CEPs & Specs.

🚫 I am blocked by ...

Nothing for now, but see below.

⚠️ I observed these potential problems

Reviews for the CEPs and specifications pages are coming too slow and I worry it will be tricky to gather enough support from the steering council to get them to an approved state.
