My mentor and I agreed that the elastic-pendulum-cone example will be the final PR for the GSoC coding period. Everything is basically done only a small change to the example is holding the PR up at the moment, and I will finish that. What’s next I’ll wrap up that small example change t...

And they were merged. I was so happy to finally see my examples and code in the dev documentation, informing new users of t...
