We did a preliminary assessment of the first pilot's outcomes in December, with very promising results (50+ new articles created, 10+ articles promoted to GA, and solid plans for continuing work).  Our plan is to conduct a more detailed evaluation in August/September and include those results in our annual report.

Excellent. :)

Does that mean there have been (positive?) conclusions from the first
pilot?  Is that assessment documented somewhere?
