Thanks Pine -- the team appreciates public discussion on our plans!
1. Budgeting: You can see how we map strategic goals against the teams from the Roadmap document above and then refer to the annual plan docs to get an idea of relative investment. A couple of caveats -- sometimes the activities don't totally matchup with the teams; for example some folks from Android are working on services. Also, while we have general metrics for the various strategic goals, we are still working on more specific metrics and targets so we can be clearer on expected and actual impact for investments. (It's a good question and probably something we should be more specific about moving forward)
2. Mobile Editing: We work closely with the Editing team and they are investigating mobile editing features for the following quarters. I'm afraid I don't have the goals URL handy but they should be posting shortly. However, we realize that editors are also readers and we will also opportunistically identify activities that help editors (user profiles on mobile for example).

Hi Moushira,
Thank you for these updates. It's great to see a team pushing out their goals for the next quarter for public review.
Two questions:
- How are budgets / resourcing aligned with the tasks shown here?
- Are there also improvements planned for mobile web and mobile app
*editing* for Q3 and Q4?
Thanks!
Pine

Hello Everyone,
Hope you are enjoying the approach of the end of the year. In the last 3 months the reading team has worked on a process for open strategy planning [0], in order to define priorities, and align tests and products that the team works on, with broader movement goals.
Given the strategy work, planning for Q3 (the next quarter: Jan - March) is different; the team is sharing its roadmap for Q3 and Q4 [1], as well as the actions planned for Q3 [2] early on. Despite of the strategy work and planning, these documents are still work in progress; adaptations and changes are likely to take place, given the time frame and tests included. However, the team is sharing early in order to accommodate feedback. You can also add suggestions for Q4 (Apr - Jun), as long as they align with the roadmap.
This is the first team the team shares its plans early and openly, and allows room for feedack and suggestions in future planning. We trust that the open process will help with better engagement and more lessons to learn on best practices.
Enjoy December!
All the best, M
