Hi Pine,
Thank you for your inquiry and for following up the status of this project.
We’ve updated the information on our meta page[1], so that it is more clear to everyone. We would like to clarify that the Draft Report is a finalization of the raw dataset and is not intended to be published. We are currently focusing on representing the data, so that everyone can easily understand the outcomes of our project. This will be revised internally and the outcome of that will be the Final Report, which will be published in April.
All the best,
Lene

Keegan,
May I point out that the term on the timeline is "deadline", as in "commitment", not as in "estimate". I view commitments as serious
business.
I believe that in IEGCom we met our deadlines every single time when I
was
on that committee, the Signpost is published weekly with rare exceptions, and there were a number of nights as a WMF intern when I got less than 6 hours of sleep in my semi-successful efforts to keep my commitments to
WMF
and to my other employer. ( I do thank WMF for that internship, it was a good experience overall). Of course there may be variances from schedules on occasion (people do get sick, have their cars break down, etc), but I believe that Lila made a point in the All Hands that projects are to be completed on time, and I think it's reasonable that commitments should be kept whenever possible. I try to do this myself and I hope that WMF takes its commitments seriously too.
The report of the Finance Fellows will inform some of my thinking about Cascadia's budget and it would be helpful to have the draft published
early
this week.
Thank you,
Pine
Pine,
I do not believe I was questioning the commitments of anyone, nor was I seeking to argue those points with you. I am simply saying, and I still believe this is true, that it's not an unreasonable observation that this is the weekend nor is it unexpected for people to take weekends off. Weekends are terrible times to release news, for the very reason that people are taking them off. Having some patience for Monday to arrive is not too much to ask at all.
Thanks!
