Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that the Quarterly Report for Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Quarter 2 - covering October-December 2015 - is now available on Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Foundation_Quarterly_Repor...

A blog post outlining some highlights from the report and a wiki version of the report are coming soon. However, given the report itself is already behind schedule, we wanted to get the final PDF version out as quickly as possible.

We are already working on improvements to the Q3 report process to address these delays. Some of the delays, to be honest, were related to the recent challenges the organization has been facing. I am personally confident that the delay with this report will not be an ongoing issue, but did want to both offer apologies and confirmation that we are working to fix the problem.

I should also note that this particular report is an aggregate, which is why emphasis was placed on getting the Quarterly reviews content up sooner. So put another way, this report summarizes and makes available more conveniently information which we prioritized getting up first. If you find this report interesting, I encourage you to look over the quarterly reviews which this report is based off: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Metrics_and_activities_meetings/Quarterl...

You are invited, as always, to provide feedback on-wiki (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_reports), and I am also available to hear feedback.
