+We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who **[contributed](https://github.com/carpentries/glosario/graphs/contributors)** in the Glosario Codefest, an event that highlighted the importance of breaking down language barriers in data science and programming. Your contributions have helped create a more inclusive learning environment, advancing our vision of accessibility for the global community. This event, [supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation](https://carpentries.org/blog/2024/01/mellon-foundation/), reflects a significant step forward in making data science knowledge available to all.

Navigating through language pages is now easier, with categories being more visible and accessible. Additionally, new anchor links allow users to jump directly to specific terms, making it easier to copy and share these links for quick reference.
