Chris - My thoughts exactly. A satisfying report: useful, informative, densely linked.
TLDR: revenue at 2% of the WMF total; projected to be cashflow positive this year. 9 FTEs, up-to-date landing page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Enterprise>, even headshot photos for a majority of the team. (And a subtle reminder that we should consider doing something awesome with a community-led merch store!) Liam - for the product update, I'm curious how hosting costs + usage have changed over the year (and implications for what we learn to optimize) SJ On Tue, Feb 7, 2023 at 10:16 AM Chris Keating <chriskeatingw...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Liam!
