@@ -110,19 +110,19 @@ Recently, we have had some progress in a few relevant directions.
 
 2. **Beginner resources and workshops.** The Noj getting started [repo](https://github.com/scicloj/noj-v2-getting-started) and :movie_camera: [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnvcKtHHMVQ) provides a welcoming way for people who know some Clojure but are new to Noj. Kira Howe's [workshop](https://bobkonf.de/2025/howe.html) at the [BobKonf 2025 conference](https://bobkonf.de/2025/) introduced Clojure for data analysis to people who are new to Clojure. We are working on additional workshops of this kind for [May 10th](https://scicloj.github.io/blog/data-analyis-with-clojure-free-workshop-may-10th-initial-survey/). Additional [tutorials](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/resources/reading/) are evolving too.
 
-3. **Beginner-friendly tooling.** Our growing set of tutorials uses the [Kindly](https://scicloj.github.io/kindly/) standard for data-visualization and notebooking. In addition to the existing support in [Clay](https://scicloj.github.io/clay/), Timothy Pratley and Carsten Behring have been working on the [kindly-render](https://github.com/scicloj/kindly-render) engine, that is now almost complete and allows various Clojure tools to support the standard. They have been working with a few Clojure tool makers, and the result is that a few tools now offer decent support for Kindly visualizations (and thus Noj). A few notable examples are [Clojupyter](https://github.com/clojupyter/clojupyter), [VSCode Calva Webview](https://calva.io/flares/), and [Intellij Cursive inline HTML](https://cursive-ide.com/blog/cursive-2025.1-eap3.html). We have been also working on beginner-friendly minimal-setup modes for Clay using a live-reload feature by Ken Huang. See a few recent video demos: [#1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDz1x2d65C0), [#2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHwFCOkBb_o), [#3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiOUiHsq_dc).

-4. **Meetups.** We have moved more of the Scicloj activity at the various [dev & study groups](/docs/community/groups) to the public sphere. Most recent meetups have been focusing on workflow demos and AI systems. You can follow them at the :movie_camera: [video channel](https://www.youtube.com/@SciCloj), [Clojureverse announcements](https://clojureverse.org/c/community-center/meetups-and-events/), and [Caldendar feed](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/events/).

-5. **Conferences.** The [SciNoj Light](/docs/community/groups/scinoj-light) online conference in May 16-17 is a first attempt to explore our current conference-organizing approach. The conference is mostly a way to drive new collaborations in preceeding months around research, writing, and speaking. We support the speakers throughout the process of proposing and preparing the talks **and* the accompanying notes. It is already safe to say that the method works, and soon we will announce the amazing list of speakers. It is not a small effort, but we have now verified that it is doable. More events will follow later this year.

 6. **Communication.** The [Clojurians Zulip Chat](/docs/community/chat/) Zulip is an essential building block in both our communication and our knowledge management. We are thankful to Gert Goet who has been nurturing it throughout the years, and to the broader team of admins that has grown recently. During the last few months, we put even more care into helping people join the platform and settle in. We organized [Zulip study sessions](https://clojureverse.org/t/intro-to-the-clojurians-zulip-chat/) and discussed it [in additional meetups](https://clojureverse.org/t/visual-tools-meeting-27-workflow-demos-1-emacs-cider-vscode-calva-zulip-summary-recording/). We are gradually shifting some of our announcements and discussions to a [web-public](https://zulip.com/help/channel-permissions#web-public-channels) channel: :tada: [#scicloj-webpublic](https://clojurians.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/488851-scicloj-webpublic), to make things more accessible to people who we not logged in.
 
 ## How we continue
 
 With our currently limited resources, we will have to focus on lightweight small steps in the short term.
 
-SciNoj Light can serve as a model for following projects. We will have a few additional target dates later this year. Toward those days, people can work on small research, on writing tutorials, and preparing talks. As usual, we will work together and create spaces to conveniently brainstorm and share progress.

 At the new [macroexpand gatherings](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/macroexpand/) series, we will maintain broader discussions on Cloure's expansion to new fields. Academia, research, education, data analysis, and art, are a few of the directions we will explore. Community members will share past experiences, discuss pain points, and come up with actionable ways to collaborate.
