Since then, the site and platform has evolved to become more of a community contribution site for people keen to share knowledge, tips, experience and stories around anything to do with Microsoft 365 (and even some Dynamics 365!).
The community of REgarding 365 contributors spans a number of countries across almost every continent and offers a variety of ways to learn.
