### Catch-up round

*Max. 3 minutes each*


**Xing:**

- **QE App Manuscript**: Here’s the [Overleaf link](https://www.overleaf.com/project/65bb9626e7cd7fcfa4c734c3). If you don't have access, please reach out to Carlo.  
    - @Carlo, could you share access to the QE App manuscript with edan.bainglass@gmail.com?
    - @All authors:
        - Please add your acknowledgments.
        - Check and update your affiliations.
        - Polish the plugin part.
        - Have a quick look at AiiDAlab part, and check if something you want to add.

- QE App video recording
    - uniform the format
    - Option1: record each plugin separately and then combine. (More flexible)
        - Bands+Pdos: Andres
        - XPS + XAS: Xing (Peter)
        - Phonon + Muon: Miki
    - Option2: Run all plugins in one recording, more powerful, but need choose a good system (MB: this can be tricky for muon part).

- [QE App Demo Project](https://github.com/orgs/aiidalab/projects/17)  
    - Andres, Miki, and I have resolved almost high-priority issues in the project. 🎉 Cheers!
