Re: [WikiJournal-en] Help with preliminary report

Hello Manavpreet, I have now submitted the report at the Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal, and sent an email to wikimediaannounce-I. I am sorry for the delay. We have kept a habit of reporting yearly for Jan-Dec but we have now added this June-Dec reporting as a recurring event.

Upon taking a look at the report, and the one before it, I notice that we spend less money than allotted. I am unsure of the politics of Wikipaedia as a relative newby, however in many organizations that would be bad for us. On top of that it isn't correct unless we got some kind of unstated grant for server space, or borrowed it from someone else. Are we aiming to spend as little as possible as a political statement about open science? If that is the case, great, but we should probably somewhere state something about the cost of server space we are using so other organizations can get a realistic picture from us. Personally, I would love to see us move in the direction of embracing executable reproducible papers (papers with reproducible code and data) as much as possible, and that will eat up even more server space. Obviously, there is some variation as to how much server and storage space costs, but if you need an estimate of real world cost, and know how many terabytes we take up, I could write some calculations if we want them.
