Hi all,
please find the Wikimedia Foundation's report for the third quarter of the fiscal year at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Foundation_Quarterly_Repor... .
Quoting below the foreword by Terry.
--- We are please to bring you the WMF Quarterly Report for Q3 of 2014/15. This is the second report since switching from a monthly cycle, to align with our quarterly goal setting process, and contains several changes that focus more on results and achievements.
One major change is that goals are counted as either a success (green) or a miss (red). This report is now a comprehensive overview of all the Q3 objectives rather than a subset of the quarters goals, as we delivered in the Q2 report. In a mature 90 day goal setting process the “sweet spot” is for about 75% of goals to be a success. Organizations that are meeting 100% of their goals are not typically setting aggressive goals.
We have also been able to reduce the amount of time and effort that goes into producing the report by flowing information straight through from the Quarterly Review Meetings.
In the report you will also find a couple of new pieces of data. The overview slide shows the status of all 130 goals from Q3 on a single page, broken down by organization. Additionally we have been able to include site speed metrics as part of our overall report card.
Terry Gilbey, Chief Operating Officer
Hoi, I love the report, it is a good read.. I actually did <grin>
What I miss in the report is reporting on Wikidata. I understand that it is the German Wikimedia chapter responsible for the development of Wikidata but it does impact the whole of Wikimedia. At the same time, work done at WMF impacts Wikidata. Two examples; the wikidatification of Commons, the query engine for Wikidata. Thanks, GerardM
