 === Releases 3.1.4 and 4.0 ===
-Both of these releases went out on time.
+.1.4 went out a little early, and 4.0 went out on time. A few minor issues (so far, a KohaILSDI ILS driver compatibility issue and some missing translations in the new Channels code) have been discovered and will be addressed in a 4.0.1 release in the near future. Please continue to report any problems you encounter with the new release.

 === Wiki Documentation Improvements? ===
+No news.
 === Front End Updates ===
+There is ongoing work and discussion in some of the current active pull requests.
+More active, Javascript-based functionality of themes have been delayed for 4.1 -- 4.0's version of the sandal theme is less ambitious but previews the general style. Watch pull requests for more opportunities to provide feedback on this.
 ==== 3. VuFind Summit 2017 ====
-Demian has sent out an initial call for presentations, and a [[https://vufind.org/wiki/community:conferences:summit_2017|wiki page]] has been set up for the 2017 event.
+Demian has sent out an initial call for presentations, and a [[https://vufind.org/wiki/community:conferences:summit_2017|wiki page]] has been set up for the 2017 event. Registration will be $60 this year, but the fee is waived for presenters.
 There will be no German joint session this year, as the German event is happening before the Villanova event; however, we hope to coordinate in some way with the other conference.
 ==== 4. Institutional Home ====
-A VuFind Community mission statement has been drafted; this will be helpful in finding a well-fitting organizational home.
+A VuFind Community mission statement has been added to the [[:Community]] wiki page; this will be helpful in finding a well-fitting organizational home.
