*2021-09-27 ''Google Fellowship'' - Fellows' impact kept accelerating:
** ''Robotoff''- On the ML front, Yana closed the 8 month gap in releasing Robotoff, after extensive refactoring. As a result, Weight, Label and Store extraction are working again, but it's only the tip of much more significant improvements, with more to come as she has begun taking category prediction to the next level.
** ''Robotoff''- Building on Yana's work, and after automating Product Opener, Olivier has started automating the deployment of Robotoff, this will mean more reliable and faster releases of new features, and no more 8 month deployment gap.

This includes a redesigned navigation, search, scan, and soon product page. Releases for iOS and Android were automated by Pierre, Marvin and Philippe, and will mean fast releases of new features on both platforms.

* ''API documentation''- The API documentation has been massively refreshed by Pierre, and [https://github.com/openfoodfacts/api-documentation has a new home] thanks to automation work by Olivier and Pierre. Included are new developer use-cases, to implement the Nutri-Score, the Eco-Score or ingredient related features in your own app. We've rewritten passages that were not clear, and you can file issues whenever you'd like an improvement (or do a PR yourself following the instructions)
* ''Product Opener documentation''- thanks to automation work by Pierre, [https://openfoodfacts.github.io/openfoodfacts-server/ documentation of Product Opener is now published regularly]
