Perhaps the info I am seeking would be better communicated in a different way. I am reluctant to request a new communications process that would require nontrivial effort to start and to maintain if I am the only one who is interested. Are there any upcoming plans for systematic study or development of WMF-to-public communications processes from Audiences and Technology? If so, perhaps I could have a conversation with whomever will work on that communications effort.
