Django Fellow Report - Jacob - 2026

Week ending 2026-03-15 (Week 11)

Got up to speed this week on how Django manages its translation strings. Many thanks to @claudep and @nessita for providing feedback on my proposals for process tweaks!

Another week with notable effort toward engaging in security reports.
