Since the last time we announced GTN news posting via Google Form, we’ve found that this has been an excellent fit for the community and decided to greatly expand the use of Google Forms for GTN contributions.

The Details

Each of these works similarly: you fill out the form, and then in the background a GTN GitHub Action will create a pull request for you.
