As part of our Call for Arms initiative we have created the new collaboration format "workgroups". A workgroup is a temporary or permanent group of contributors who work together on a single or several open feature requests, bugs or feature improvements.

Anyone can join a workgroup or propose the creation of a new workgroup for an issue that is not on the list yet. By the way: Members of the django CMS Association who are involved in workgroups receive voting rights for their work contributions.

The organization of work collaboration in workgroups is up to the group members. They decide how they want to collaborate on their assigned tasks. However, the django CMS Association provides various collaboration tools that can be freely used by the group members.

We invite everyone who would like to work with others on django CMS topics to join a workgroup!

Here is how to join a workgroup. We look forward to meeting you!

This release addresses three medium-severity security vulnerabilities and includes improvements to accessibility, Django compatibility, permissions, Content Security Policy support, and general editor stability.
