Mar 18 - Mar 29, 2024

Report on iteration Mar 18, 2024 — Mar 29, 2024 (includes all issues completed before Apr 1, 2024).

It was another busy iteration at the CDH. There was a lot of activity on the PPA core issues, as well as initial planning and progress for the NLP part of the research collaboration. Our other active projects saw smaller movements as they either ramp up or down. We also had a number of meetings, internal and with external collaborators.
