<tr>
<td>lauriii</td>
<td>Got a lot of feedback during DrupalCon! The most requested feature during DrupalCon was definitely multilingual support. One of the asks I had for folks interested in it was to share with me the process they follow for creating multilingual content for their current sites. I got some input already but more would be welcome.We also had a RC2 release yesterday <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/canvas/releases/1.0.0-rc2">https://www.drupal.org/project/canvas/releases/1.0.0-rc2</a> with many bug fixes especially to AI.</td>
