Glad you like the idea.

I expect it would take about half-a-day to a day to write and publish such 
posts.

Ultimately, this would depend on whether or not we have the editorial resources 
to do this. 

Maybe this could be done as a collaboration between a WMF staffer and a 
community volunteer or intern.

Yeah, good point. I was going to bring up these posts myself.

Also note that Phoebe wrote this interesting post on these results over the 
weekend, which might be worth retweeting, as I did:

You make a good point that the full video is a bit overwhelming for your 
typical FB user. So maybe it could be left out from this proposed post, and 
simply link to the meetings agenda page, where it is accessible. 

In the future, it might be possible to excerpt a noteworthy part of the full 
video, like Maryana’s demo of mobile readership ideas, which could be done in a 
2-3 mins video and be more appropriate for FB or Twitter stand-alone posts.

But I think ultimately the best solution would be a blog post summarizing key 
points of the metrics meeting, with a few photos and slides, and an occasional 
short video.
