Hi Everyone,
We had our quarterly review with WMF management last week. The minutes[1]
are posted up on meta along with the deck we presented. (Thank you to
Tilman for taking the minutes and helping post the slides)
Please take a look at the deck and let me know if you have any questions.
In particular, I'd like to highlight our reprioritization[2] of our
projects. We continue to focus on our Editor Engagement Vital Signs project
and have added a couple of new projects, including taking over the Event
Logging system from the Platform Team.
I want to call out the Page View API project specifically. Everyone on the
team wants to work on this but we have prioritized other projects ahead of
it. While this is challenging for everyone, Editor Growth remains the
priority for the Foundation and Analytics needs to support this initiative.
In the meantime, we have worked with Henrik, the maintainer of
stats.grok.seto help scale out this service. We've purchased a new
machine and the
initial performance numbers are very encouraging. We'll have more updates
on this shortly.
In conclusion, now that the team is fully staffed, I'll have more time to
communicate about our projects and how they will interact with the
community. I'm looking forward to it :)
Thanks,
-Toby
