:one: :two: Contribution Tools (VIENNA) — Proposal: If we are not confident by **2025.09.18** in a solution that we can document and create videos on we will focus on non-code issue management such as Needs Review Queue Initiative, Major Issue triage to mentor new contributors *who do not have an environment* in the issue process. We have a new channel to talk about any solution in #contribution-tool-planning that is agnostic to DrupalPod, DrupalForge, ddev, dev-containers, etc... DrupalForge needs review!
