    made explicit the conclusion that forming Lie groupoid convolution algebras is a (2,1)-functor

    Is there an example of a higher groupoid convolution algebras that can be discussed, or can more details be given? I have an example in mind that I'd like to understand...or is this only for double groupoids?

    I am not aware of further developments since I made that note in April 2013 (revision 46). But it could well be that there was development which I didn’t hear of.

    What’s the example you have in mind?

    I haven't been able to find anything either, but perhaps the functor which sends groupoids to algebras sends higher groupoids to higher (a-infinity?) algebras? The examples I have in mind come from Poisson manifolds — we can specialize to symplectic manifolds. The fundamental 2-groupoid of such a manifold comes with a 2-cocycle and one can form the twisted convolution "algebra", which is related to Kontsevich's star product and the Poisson sigma model via formula (3.39) in https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0507223, as I explain in section 4.4 and 5 in https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.05494.pdf...but basically you make the most obvious construction of something that's like an algebra out of the functions on the 1-arrows of the 2 groupoid that reproduces the convolution algebra on 1-groupoids... However, it's not clear that the product is associative (there is still a way of obtaining an associative algebra, but there may be something better that one can do). I wonder if there are simple examples of finite 2-groupoids (modeled as kan-complexes) which aren't strict that one can play with.
