• https://github.com/Lesko987 Aleš is moving the features of his WikiTree+ extension into the collaborative extension.

• https://github.com/shogenapps Ian Beacall is working on the many, many tools from his BEE extension, including improvements to the locations dropdown, an apps submenu, random profile selector, drafts-in-progress list, alternative last names on surname pages, and collapsible descendant trees.

• https://github.com/harrislineage Steve made his terrific timeline app a part of the dynamic tree, and he's adding source citation previews and easy printing of profiles to the extension.

• https://github.com/wikitree/wikitree-dynamic-tree/blob/main/contributing.md instructions for contributing to the dynamic tree, and cleaned up its base code.

• https://github.com/GeoffRiley Geoff Riley fixed lots of typos and other errors in documentation.

• https://github.com/MichalVasut Michal Vašut put in a bunch of work refactoring the code to have a more generic tree view class. His simple, modern JavaScript is making it easier for all of us to work with.
