Are all of these projects still on track to land for onboarding in Q2?

[simoncozens]

Not sure I'll get to Hebrew. The rest will be released next week.

Tier 1 dev is done for this year, apart from Arabic which is tracked separately, and LGC which will have further updates in the year.

Is the checklist in https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/6016#issue-1621893793 accurate? Do we want to spin up a new issue for anything that was not done in that OP?

@simoncozens Noto Sans Oryia is still blocked in dev because of the wdth axis not working at wght=400

[simoncozens]

We've done and merged all the updates that we managed to do in Q1.
