+హలో Emberistas! 🐹
+
+This week you can read all about a new RFC for **accesible routing** 🗺, angle brackets coming 🔜 to the guides, a new way to decorate with Ember Decorators 🖼, a **contributor interview** with @bekzod 💬, check out the upcoming Ember.js documentary 🎬🍿🎥, a new RFC for **contextual helpers** 🎒 and more!
+
+---
+
+## [New RFC: Accessible Routing in Ember 🗺](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/433)
+Currently, routing in Ember is not natively accessible for users with assistive technology. This means that whenever the user navigates to a new route within an Ember application, screen readers do not read out the new content or appropriately move focus. This new RFC by [@MelSumner](https://github.com/MelSumner) proposes a solution to this so **Ember routing can be natively accessible for users with assistive technology**.
+
+Feel free to read the [RFC](https://github.com/MelSumner/rfcs/blob/MelSumner-a11y-routing/text/0000-a11y-routing.md) and leave your thoughts as a comment.
+
+---
+
+## [Coming Soon: Angle Brackets to the Guides 🎉](https://github.com/ember-learn/guides-source/issues/139)
+
+A [quest issue](https://github.com/ember-learn/guides-source/issues/139) to convert the guides to **angle bracket invocation** is gaining traction. This effort will bring [RFC 311](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/blob/master/text/0311-angle-bracket-invocation.md) to the documentation in the next few weeks, which is nice since this is a feature that has been available in Ember for some time! Many thanks to the contributors involved in this effort. 👏

+
+## [Decorate Today! The Ember Way! 📍](http://ember-decorators.github.io/ember-decorators/)
+[Ember Decorators](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/blob/master/text/0408-decorators.md) are the future of using Ember along with native Javascript classes. The addon [ember-decorators](https://github.com/ember-decorators/ember-decorators) allows you to use **"The Javascript of the Future, Today!"**
+Once you install it you will have a fully RFC compliant implementation of Ember Decorators.
+The [Ember Decorators RFC](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/blob/master/text/0408-decorators.md) was merged into the RFC repo about two weeks ago. It will take some time until this functionality is in Ember Core.
+If you would like to try this out now and give your feedback then install the addon and test it out!
+Thanks to everyone for pushing this forward and making it a reality. 🏆

+
+## [Contextual Helpers 🆕](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/432)
+
+The [Contextual Components pattern](https://guides.emberjs.com/release/components/wrapping-content-in-a-component/#toc_sharing-component-data-with-its-wrapped-content) empowered addon authors to create highly reusable UI components as part of popular addons such as [Ember Light Table](https://offirgolan.github.io/ember-light-table/), [Ember Power Calendar](https://ember-power-calendar.com/), [Ember Paper](https://miguelcobain.github.io/ember-paper/) and many more.
+
+In extension of [allowing components to be contextual](https://emberjs.github.io/rfcs/0064-contextual-component-lookup.html), a **new Request for Comments (RFC)**  proposes to [extend the semantics of template helpers in a similar fashion](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/blob/contextual-helpers/text/0432-contextual-helpers.md).
+
+You can read all about the motivation and possible design solutions in the original proposal and [leave your thoughts in the comments below](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/432)!
