Alternatively you could consider presenting at the Flang community call next Wednesday.

Are there any new FIR/MLIR types to represent coarrays/multi-images? Is the dialect only for ease of lowering or will it include some transformations as well? What kind of transformations do you plan to have in the dialect?

I see that you have some slides in https://flang-compiler.slack.com/archives/C06QTP07SCU/p1758900973869609. This addresses my points above. Thanks.
