I would agree that the platform project had been lacking our undivided attention due to multiple factors - post IndiaFOSS follow-ups, some of the important things to be documented for the CityFOSS tour, FOSS Hack and IndiaFOSS related decisions for next year, that needed thorough discussions before documenting and putting out to the community for feedback and suggestions. And these felt to be valid action items to go out too at the earliest, as it’s one of the crucial decisions for next year, along with a few other pending threads, that opened at IndiaFOSS itself - FOSS Awards, having a new venue for IndiaFOSS next year etc.,
Resetting our priorities for the platform was also needed, as the work time for IndiaFOSS, did crunch our time and base, and we had to pause all work on the platform.
But we are back on it, perhaps taking a wake-up call as well 
, and as mentioned before, that we are on to ship the following features on Jan 2024 alpha release, our prime hope on New Year itself:
The membership portal however, won’t fit into the first release, but we can definitely plan it in the second release too, if the timeline of the membership project matches with it as well.
Since our collective effort is to integrate all the activities into one single platform, this would make sense for it as well.
