This is a summary of a meeting today in which Diederik van Liere and David Schoonover showed off a current prototype of the monthly "report card".
http://reportcard.wmflabs.org/reportCard seems down so David showed off the graphs at http://count.less.ly/ . You can try that.
There is an new, public analytics mailing list (which I am cc'ing):

Points you might want to know:
They'll be adding the ability to annotate specific points in the graphs. You'll be able to share graphs by sharing URLS, or by making and sharing pretty URLs using "slugs". Authorization work is on the roadmap (that's a necessary predecessor, I think, of being able to create graphs that include private WMF-only data). And we need to play with dygraph to make it do bar graphs or otherwise distinguish targets from actual logged numbers.
Erik Zachte, in creating his report card, was doing some data post-processing that Andrew, David, and Diederik hadn't known about, and they are now incorporating that into their data pipeline.
Goals:
* by April 1st, the next metrics meeting, this prototype will replicate readers/pageviews. The team will make a serious attempt at getting editor data up and running, and add the ability to add and signal benchmark. * by May 1st, they'll add geography by editor & break out mobile pageviews.
For English Wikipedia, we only have editors numbers, since we don't have a slave running internally to process the vast quantity of data regarding pageviews. I believe improvements in our analytics of pageview and editor data on en.wp depends on Fabian Kaelin.
Analytics is waiting for ops work involving database setting & configuration for all wikis. Diederik will meet up with Ryan Lane about this.
I may have gotten things wrong; Diederik and David, please correct me. Thanks.
