Still, in my assessment it is lacking on concrete details. There are many terms that are coined and movements cited which are not definitively explained, in some cases with hints that the departments doing the reporting have not themselves yet arrived at precise meaning. I suppose that, like the entree to the the full-course meal, this is the limitation to the medium: something to digest ahead of the full-course annual plan. An overall sense is one of transition.

Hi all,
Today the Wikimedia Foundation published a report on its activities in calendar year 2014. [...]
Although the information in the report was originally gathered in
response
to an internal Foundation need, we planned to make it public as a
report
from the very beginning. It is intended to be relatively candid,
sharing
insight into where teams feel they have strengths and where they feel
there
are development areas. [...]
We hope you find it interesting, and welcome your feedback.
Thanks,
Katherine

Juliet
Barbara and Heather Walls who wrote and produced the whole thing!
Thanks. This looks indeed like a candid report. If it's an indication of
a
change in communication style, I like it.
Good to have it available on Meta as well as in pdf format (I think the
is very nicely done).
I agree, pretty much. This is probably the best 'big picture" look at the WMF I have seen: accomplishments, plans, honest assessments of challenges. Thanks very much!
