Hi Dumi,
This looks interesting, but I’m worried that the WMF is still trying to exclude itself from reporting its metrics. Will this new tool also make it easier for the WMF to post its reports?
Thanks, Mike

TL;DR: Launch of Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal
We are launching a new form-based annual reporting system for Wikimedia affiliates [1], as well as a basic Affiliates data query system. We would love your feedback.
Hello, Affiliate Leaders & Community Members,
Tired of the affiliate reports [2] wiki table of death? SO are we!
The Learning & Evaluation team is pleased to announce the launch of the Wikimedia Affiliates Data (WAD) Portal [1]. This portal will serve three purposes as follows:
- It introduces a new Object-Oriented User Interface (OOUI) [3]
form-based report submission interface for annual activity and
financial
reports. This replaces the wiki mark-up based submission via the [[Reports]] page on meta. 2. It introduces the ability for Organizations to update their information using OOUI forms on the fly. 3. It introduces a new simple data query form that allows anyone logged-in to their public wiki accounts to run a query and view
results on
available Affiliates data. The query tool will be improved in the
coming
financial year, as we work to code data in Affiliate reports into structured data, to allow for richer analysis.
The [[Reports]] page on meta will continue to be visible on meta until
the
end of June 2020, after which it will be protected and archived. All organizations that are due to submit annual reports at the end of March
are
encouraged to use the new report submission forms. If you do use the new forms, please share any feedback you have about this new process on the Portal’s talk page
We will hold training seminars for those who wish to be onboarded to the submission forms and the Query system during the months of March and
April
2020 (Dates will be communicated soon).
We have taken time to pre-populate the system with basic information
about
each recognized Wikimedia affiliate, however, should you find any
incorrect
or outdated information about your group, please use the organization information page[4] to provide updated information.
We trust that you will enjoy the new portal and that you will find it useful. Should you have any problems or encounter bugs in the new forms, please use the Portal talk page [5] to log these, or to simply ask questions. We will collect similar questions to create an FAQ page in due time.
Kindest regards
