In the spirit of this thread—
Pine's question about project-based accounting[1] made me look for the first time in a while at the Foundation's most recent Annual Plan[2] and the related mid-year check-in[3].
I was surprised and delighted by how much better – how much more readable, easier to understand and more specific and down to earth – this is than past efforts. It's also beautifully formatted and interlinked.
The mid-year check-in is a vast improvement on the old-style Q&As. (It also has some good-natured edit summaries that made me smile.)
Well done.
Andreas

Agree. Just under two years ago, I thought Katherine would make an excellent ED. And she has not disappointed.

Thank you Micru for bringing the talk of Katherine in the mailing
list, I
probably wouldn't have watched it if you didn't post it here.
I'd like to thank Katherine for the charismatic presentation at
University
of Melbourne, depicting the essence of the Wikimedia movement in the perspective of our times. We value your leadership in the movement and
your
effort to highlight the goodness of millions of Wikimedians across the world. This isn't very common that we acknowledge the positivity and contribution of people around us, which we should do more to encourage
and
assure them that they are doing great, thus uplifting the energy within them. Thank you Katherine!
Regards, Tanweer

Hello everybody,
Normally in our community we used to send angry emails when we were
not
happy with how things are going, and we were not sending enough
emails
of
satisfaction and encouragement. I don't know who started it, but the
"what
is making you happy this week" series might be one of the best
social
achievements our movement has reached.
