 - At [ReactConf 2021](https://conf.reactjs.org/), ReactConf [Rick Hanlon](https://twitter.com/rickhanlonii) shared the unified many-platform vision for React and React Native. Moreover, [Eric Rozell](https://twitter.com/EricRozell) and [Steven Moyes](https://twitter.com/moyessa) got to share the amazing progress React Native Desktop has made in supporting both Meta and Microsoft apps and showcasing the Many Platform Vision in practice.

 We’ve been working hard to deliver the infrastructure needed to rollout the New Architecture to apps and libraries. We involved some of our partners and core contributors/library maintainers to refine our support for the new architecture to get early stage feedback.
 
-We are now preparing to release a new guide on our website: [Getting Started with the New Architecture](https://github.com/facebook/react-native-website/pull/2879). That will be the entry point to a collection of material that we’re going to release this year and will help you migrate/start your project with the new architecture.

That will be the entry point to a collection of material that we’re going to release in 2022 and will help you migrate/start your project with the new architecture.
 
 Moreover, we would like to stress the [importance of **giving feedback**](https://github.com/facebook/react-native-website/pull/2879) on the New Architecture material. We’re still in the process of finalizing the last details and your input will help everyone adopt the new architecture more seamlessly.
 
 **Releases** play a critical role in the New Architecture rollout. Our goal last half was to ensure any release blocking issues did not stagnate. We approached the problem by [clarifying and improving process and responsibilities](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/wiki/Releases) for better accountability. Our release coordination now occurs in a [dedicated discussions repository](https://github.com/reactwg/react-native-releases/discussions) with [clearer release issue reporting](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Needs%3A+Triage+%3Amag%3A%2CType%3A+Upgrade+Issue&template=upgrade-regression-form.yml).
 
-For this half we will continue to iterate on release responsibilities to support new architecture rollout. If you’d like to help out testing release candidates or [working on improvements](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/projects/18), feel free to [join the discussion](https://github.com/reactwg/react-native-releases/discussions/categories/improvements)!

 ## To Mobile and beyond
 
 As you can see from [the ReactConf talk lineup](https://conf.reactjs.org/), React Native is not only Android & iOS.
 
-Earlier this year we shared our [Many Platform Vision](https://reactnative.dev/blog/2021/08/26/many-platform-vision), and we had a successful time rolling out React Native on both Desktop and VR.

 We’re looking forward to **converging patterns** that are platform-specific into the React Native experience.
 
-Finally, we want to thank again the community for the enormous support this last half. It’s always amazing to see how contributors come together and support each other on Github, fixing bugs, sharing their and helping us deliver React Native to millions of users.
