Thanks Oliver - as already mentioned in my initial email, we indeed aim to create dashboards eventually for those which are not available already, but will iterate a bit first. (For the app installs, it would basically mean reproducing the internal Google Play and App Annie dashboards in public versions.)
To clarify, these metrics are deliberately not called KPIs in the report at this point, and feedback on the metrics selection itself is welcome as well - already received some offlist.
I had been eyeing https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Building_a_Shiny_Dashboard with interest some days ago already, and really appreciate your offer of support, may take you up on it later. I have to say I also like the annotation feature of Dashiki, especially for the approach taken here where we try to add some information that helps with understanding and interpreting what's happening, instead of just putting out the naked data. FWIW, there is already a Dashiki dashboard at https://vital-signs.wmflabs.org/ (with some annotations) which can be made to display the total pageviews from May 2015 on (by entering "Totals" on top left), if not the other pageview data from this report. And I know Gergö has been looking into setting up a fuller new def pageview dashboard as a side project.
BTW, the charts from last week's report are now also on Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles&dir=prev&offset=20150918000000&user=Tbayer+%28WMF%29&limit=6. For the time being I will update the app DAUs and pageview data there as new reports come out.

Sure! You just let us know when you're at the stage where management or stakeholders expect regular and consistent reporting - we've been doing this for a while and hope to be doing it for a while longer, so our expertise in this area isn't gonna go away, and neither is our offer of support :)

Thanks, Tilman! This is a great start.
Oliver, thank you for your offer of support! For now, we are still in an early 'agile' stage of prioritizing features based on stakeholder's feedback (like the one Pine raised). I think dashboard is something we will consider when we are further down the road on this.

Are there going to be regularly updated dashboards for these KPIs? The Discovery team is happy to lend you some support in getting a platform set up, moving forward.

Thanks Tilman. Is it possible for to get ENWP-only stats for August 2015? The last data for ENWP pageviews on stats.wikimedia.org is from July. A breakdown of ENWP stats into mobile and desktop would also be helpful.

Hi all,
with this email we are starting a weekly look at our most important readership metrics.
The main purpose is to raise awareness about how these are developing, call out the impact of any unusual events in the preceding week (e.g. the media promotion for the Android app this time) and facilitate thinking about core metrics in general.
We will iterate on the presentation (e.g. to better take seasonality into account, in particular including year-over-year comparisons) and eventually want to create dashboards for those which are not already available in that form already. Feedback and discussion welcome.
(All numbers below are averages for September 7-13, 2015 unless otherwise noted.)
