Hi Everyone,
I’m happy to announce that, as of today, Tilman Bayer has officially joined
the Reading product team as a Senior Analyst. He will increase our capacity
for understanding our users and the impact of our efforts through data
analysis. Tilman is responsible for:
-
generating our primary metrics and communicating them
-
consulting on, analyzing and communicating the results of
feature-specific instrumentation
-
driving best practices within the team with regard to analysis (aided by
his background in mathematics)
Tilman has been shadowing the team for about a quarter, and has ramped up
his involvement dramatically over the last month. During this period,
Tilman has moved quickly and is already owning the analysis of a
significant number of our ongoing projects.
Tilman’s weekly reading metrics report (example

is currently being sent out to the Mobile-l mailing list (which serves as
the Reading team’s primary public mailing list). We are still gathering
feedback from the subscribers of that list and once we have a sustainable
and stable format, we hope to share more widely.
Tilman has been working with us since July 2011, and has been a Wikipedian
since 2003. He was an analyst on the Communications team until Erik Moeller
asked him to join Product & Strategy at the beginning of this year. Tilman
will be moving out of his current role in Terry’s department where he is
right now wrapping up the current round of quarterly reviews and
preparation of the organization-wide quarterly report for Q1.
Best,
Jon
