## Project statuses/summaries

- ASLPrep:
    - Taylor Salo is working on refactoring ASLPrep to follow fMRIPrep's new fit-apply organization.
    - Taylor will open issues and PRs to SDCFlows and niworkflows in cases where the generic workflows don't handle ASL data. There might also be some opportunity to make some of the fMRIPrep workflows more generic and move them to niworkflows, if that's alright.
- NiBabies / fMRIPrep-Infants:
    - New minor series (23.1.x) released - includes a new alternative surface reconstruction method, intake of anatomical derivatives, and flexibility for single anatomical processing,
    - Next release - focus on fit/apply, perhaps integrating with fmriprep proper
- fMRIPrep
    - 23.2.0 alpha releases out
        - Features: fit-transform, msm-sulc, single-shot resampling
        - Feedback:
            - Good: Acquired fieldmaps mostly working
            - Bad: SyN-SDC problematic, some issues with BOLD skull stripping
