## Around the Community

### Talking & Doc'ing

On this week's Talking & Doc'ing, we added [Lunaria](https://lunaria.dev) to a Starlight project! We all jumped into a shared Gitpod workspace, built a tiny sample Starlight i18n project and then followed Lunaria's docs to set up translation tracking for the site!

### We have a new channel on Discord

We have added the #dev-integrations channel, this channel is for the developers working on integrations for Astro. So if you're working on a cool integration, don't hesitate to pop in the channel!
