Weekly Update Thread - 2021-2022

What are the weekly updates ?

We want this to be a space for us (Common Voice Team) to openly communicate with the community.

To help support the discoverability of Common Voice Weekly Updates for the Community I have created this topic.

We welcome feedback and for the community to share the feedback. If you would like to provide feedback on any of the posts please click on the respective topic.
