Hi Pine --
I can't speak for the other groups, but for your question on Reading and
push notifications, we're having discussions with the echo folks about
using this platform for push notifications for the apps. We're interested
in combining this feature with feeds on the apps with the idea that it
would land in the first quarter of 2016 but this is very preliminary.

Thanks Tilman. I finally got around to skimming most
of this. Questions &
Comments below:
Communications: seems to be firing on all cylinders.
Team Practices: seems to be making a difference in supporting other
individuals and teams. Some of the metrics chosen look great.
Release engineering: great idea about the skill matrix; would HR and Team
Practices like to expand this to other teams?
Grants restructuring: big job, thanks/congrats for how it was done, looking
forward to execution
TechOps: nice to see that OTRS upgrade is in progress; I believe that this
has been talked about for years
Labs: I have a subjective impression of much improved reliability, so thank
you
Design research: University of Washington mentioned; what's the connection?
Performance: thank you for working on paint time
Security: I have a suggestion for KPIs: maximum and median times for
resolution of critical and high priority bugs; and maximum and median time
for first response to bug reports on all channels (Phabricator, email, etc)
Reading: can we get an update on what's being done WRT push notifications?
Partnerships: happy to see pre-install deal coming soon
Editing: how is the community feedback about the split of Echo
notifications.
Multimedia: yay for ability to upload to Commons from VE; excited that
Excel import is coming (this may stop my complaints to Grantmaking about
MediaWiki tables for budgets)
High level comment: from these reports it looks like the Foundation is
generally making good progress. Going forward a theme that I'd really like
to see is closer integration of WMF priorities with community priorities. I
hear from my colleagues at in-person meetings and online that there is a
sense that WMF's priorities may or may not be the community's priorities. A
certain amount of that is understandable, but my subjective sense is that
there's a fair amount of frustration in the community and that the
situation could be better. Suggestion: take advantage of the Evaluation
team's enhanced survey capacity to run surveys like the one that WMIL ran,
and run them every 6 months. Prioritize the languages to maximize return on
translation investment. Then adjust WMF quarterly priorities in alignment
with the priorities expressed in the community priorities survey. Also,
establish SLAs for all departments with regard to responses to community
questions.
Thanks! I hope that other community members will write comments and
questions also.
