-This last month of 2024 started with a lot of updates to the [R Development (Dev) Guide](https://contributor.r-project.org/rdevguide/). It has been almost 4 years since the discussions about having such a guide started during useR! 2020. The guide has come a long way since then, and there some exciting updates to it.

 In the first week of December 2024, Saranjeet Kaur Bhogal visited Heather Turner at the University of Warwick, UK. We spent the week co-working on the R Dev Guide and managed to close quite a few old issues 🎉
 
 ## Witnessing December turning into Closember!
 
 We started the week walking through the oldest open issues and pull requests on the Dev Guide's repository and decided to tackle them as a priority. Over the week, we managed to close approximately 21 issues and 10 pull requests (not made by a bot). This included some new issues and pull requests that were opened during the week. The oldest issue that we managed to close was from 2020 and Heather did a comprehensive review of an outstanding pull request from 2022 (still not merged, but we are happy that it has been reviewed and is up to date).

 ## Hello, Quarto!
 
-We thought that at some point it would be good to migrate the R Dev Guide from [Bookdown](https://bookdown.org/) to [Quarto](https://quarto.org/). We achieved this faster than expected with Ella Kaye bringing her energy and enthusiam to the task. She managed to migrate the guide to Quarto and yes, we are now live on Quarto!

 ## Community contributions
 
-During the week, we also had some notable contributions from the community. In particular, Cam Race and Carlos Cámara contributed to the guide remotely. Cam Race continued on the work he started during the [R Dev Day at SIP 2024](https://www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/r-dev-day-2024/) which was inspired from  contributions by Mahmoud Abdelrazek and Sarah Jaffa during the [R Hackathon at RSECon24](https://rsecon24.society-rse.org/programme/community-discovery-day/).
