The search for primordial gravitational waves from polarized Cosmic Microwave Background data requires high sensitivity data, a large frequency coverage, and excellent knowledge of the instruments that took these data.

The Cosmoglobe initiative will solve this problem by jointly analyzing datasets in a global Bayesian framework, and bringing together a global community of researchers to leverage their collective knowledge and data.

In this talk, I will give updates on the collaboration and the datasets we are currently analyzing. I will close by focusing on the status of the WMAP dataset, in particular discussing differences between the original analysis and the Cosmoglobe reanalysis.
