The community members are discussing the upcoming release of global variables, which have been marked as complete on Github. One community member suggests the release will likely happen this week, while another says they are still testing it. The community members discuss potential use cases for global variables, such as easier integration with a CMS by providing access to core variables like API paths and collection IDs, as well as enabling localization through the use of global variables in slots for language switching. There is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.
I am wanting an easier way to connect sites to my CMS.... if I can have a few core variables like one for the base API path and then a few variables for certain collection ID's then my life will be much easier... also potentially things like the phone number for that site being globally accessible would be fantastic
