I'm only aware of one epic with a potential for alpha2 - https://github.com/camunda/product-hub/issues/2630. @mesellings, you are the embedded writer on that topic, do you have any updates? Will it most likely be shipped in alpha3?

[mesellings]

Nothing blocking from me, just a few rewording suggestions, looks pretty good already - nice job! 🚀

Depending on whether you are adopting the "To learn more, see..." link format, these might need changing?

[conceptualshark]

Happy to make these uniform!

I don't think this is coming for alpha 2, more likely alpha 3? As I type, just seen this is confirmed by Mathieu!
