Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Wikimedia Foundation report, July-September 2015

Hi Nathan,

These reports are indeed still being released. However, I do want to note that 
Communications is taking the lead this time, and Tilman has provided a lot of 
helpful guidance to support that transition.

Generally, we are aiming to release them about a month after the quarterly 
review meetings (which are available on Meta-Wiki: 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Metrics_and_activities_meetings/Quarterly_reviews
 
).
 The Quarterly Report itself is basically a collection of the Key Performance 
Indicators (KPIs) from those meetings, and some additional statistical data 
(generally available on many metrics dashboards).

I am currently taking lead on compiling the report, and we plan to have the 
report on-wiki very soon. We are continuing to consider feedback from the 
community and staff on ways to improve both the process, quarterly reviews, and 
quarterly reports. I apologize for not sending out an update sooner, but will 
be sure to keep this list more informed of the process moving forward.

-greg
