Hi, just some brief feedback on the meeting:
* I liked the format.
* Regarding the WMF quarterly performance single-page overview, I think that is a good basic idea and could use further development. WMF might find it helpful to consult with Wikimedia France which I hear does good self-evaluations, and incorporate any helpful ideas.
* Removing potentially unnecessary or antiquated barriers for grants, such as the current limitations on IEG use of WMF engineering staff time, is currently high on my wish list.
* The installation of the Wikipedia app by default on mobile devices will need to be handled carefully. And I am hoping that the mobile apps will incorporate more features are helpful to contributors to our projects. As an editor, I find that mobile web is fairly usable but mobile apps have many limitations.
* When will we hear an update about the progress of the strategic plan?
Thanks,
Pine
