||
| In the [last few months](https://github.com/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+closed%3A2018-04-30..2018-07-23+user%3Aservo+) (whoops!), | ||
| we merged 498 PRs in the Servo organization's repositories. It should be easier to return to a regular publishing schedule now that we're caught up! | ||
|
|
||
| ### Planning and Status | ||
|
|
||
| Our [roadmap](https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Roadmap) is available online, including the overall plans for 2018. | ||
| It has been updated to account for Servo's new role in Mozilla's [mixed reality](https://blog.servo.org/2018/03/09/servo-and-mixed-reality/) team. | ||
|
|
||
| This week's status updates are [here](https://www.standu.ps/project/servo/). | ||
|
|
||
| ### Exciting Work in Progress | ||
|
|
||
| - asajeffrey is trying to get all supported platforms building Servo with an [upgraded JavaScript engine](https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/21029). | ||
| - paulrouget is [completely redesigning](https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/20912) how the Android port works; we'll have a usable browser application on Android once it merges. | ||
| - Manishearth and ferjm are [implementing](https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/21158) the DOM APIs required for WebAudio content to work. | ||
| - gterzian is making [Window.open](https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/20678) work. | ||
| - KiChjang is adding support for the [MessagePort and MessageChannel](https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/16622) DOM APIs. | ||
|
|
||
