Still, in my assessment it is lacking on concrete details. There are many
terms that are coined and movements cited which are not definitively
explained, in some cases with hints that the departments doing the
reporting have not themselves yet arrived at precise meaning. I suppose
that, like the entree to the the full-course meal, this is the limitation
to the medium: something to digest ahead of the full-course annual plan. An
overall sense is one of transition.

We hope you find it interesting, and welcome your feedback.
Thanks,

information to their various teams sections. And a special thanks to
Juliet
Barbara and Heather Walls who wrote and produced
the whole thing!
Thanks. This looks indeed like a candid report. If it's an indication of
a
change in communication style, I like it.
Good to have it available on Meta as well as in pdf format (I think the
pdf
is very nicely done).
I agree, pretty much. This is probably the best 'big picture" look at the
WMF I have seen: accomplishments, plans, honest assessments of
challenges. Thanks very much!
Risker/Anne
