> ### Contributor Summit & Community Survey
> 
> As usual after a Contributor Summit event, I've put together a survey to help us learn for next time. It also covers more general questions about how the community feels to you at the moment, so even if you couldn't make it to the Contributor event, or CfgMgmtCamp, it's still worth a look. [It should take just a few minutes](https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/W9SWQ9Q)!

It can now extract the current version also from Python PEP 621 projects and JavaScript/TypeScript `package.json` based projects, and it uses the standard library tomllib on Python 3.11+ instead of needing toml or tomli to be available.
