Hi everyone, below you will find the updates from the Desktop team from the last week. If you’re interested in discussing a topic please start a thread in the Desktop area of Discourse.

Last week’s notes are here: Desktop Team Updates - Monday 14th December 2020

Most of the team will be away till the new year so there’s probably no meeting until then. Happy holidays.
