[pbiron]

I'll draft some text for #53392 for the Misc Dev Note.

[sabernhardt]

I can write a note for #40361 and a section for the miscellaneous dev note about the required fields functions (#54394 and #56389).

[audrasjb]

@sabernhardt I reviewed the Required fields dev note and it looks almost good to me (I added 3 comments). I think we can publish this one as an independent note.

[sabernhardt]

The required fields note is scheduled to publish in a few hours.

My ​draft for the multisite pages is still incomplete. If it is not ready before publishing the field guide, I could add a comment there later.

[desrosj]

Closing this one out with RC coming shortly!

[sabernhardt]

The ​multisite registration note could be complete, and I would appreciate help editing it. (If it's easier for you, you could comment on the ​Google doc draft.)

[webcommsat]

Replying to sabernhardt: Great dev note. Peer reviews done by @ironprogrammer and @webcommsat. Post ready to publish.

The ​multisite registration note could be complete, and I would appreciate help editing it. (If it's easier for you, you could comment on the ​Google doc draft.)

[audrasjb]

@webcommsat the dev note looks good to me. I only added a few missing <code> styles, directly by editing the post on Make/Core.
