Tilman, are these quarterly reports no longer being released?

Hi all,
please find the Wikimedia Foundation's report for the first quarter of this fiscal year at

Quoting below the foreword by Terry:
We are pleased to bring you the Wikimedia Foundation’s Quarterly Report for Q1 of the 2015/16 fiscal year, a comprehensive summary of how we did on the objectives defined earlier in our quarterly goal setting process. We are continuing to optimize the report’s format and the organization’s quarterly review process based on the feedback that we have received.
This issue includes some new pieces of information and a few format changes. Teams have been starting to highlight one key performance indicator (KPI) each - with ongoing efforts to identify the best possible metrics - and to estimate how much time fell into each of the three categories from the 2015 Call to Action (strengthen, focus and experiment). We have reorganized the content to present all the information that is related to a particular objective in one place (description of the goal, measures of success, how we did on achieving the objective, and what we learned from working on it), and changed these slides to a cleaner, more effective layout.
As before, we are including an overview slide summarizing successes and misses across all teams. 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.

Hi Nathan,
These reports are indeed still being released. However, I do want to note that Communications is taking the lead this time, and Tilman has provided a lot of helpful guidance to support that transition.
Generally, we are aiming to release them about a month after the quarterly review meetings (which are available on Meta-Wiki: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Metrics_and_activities_meetings/Quarterl... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Metrics_and_activities_meetings/Quarterly_reviews). The Quarterly Report itself is basically a collection of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from those meetings, and some additional statistical data (generally available on many metrics dashboards).
I am currently taking lead on compiling the report, and we plan to have the report on-wiki very soon. We are continuing to consider feedback from the community and staff on ways to improve both the process, quarterly reviews, and quarterly reports. I apologize for not sending out an update sooner, but will be sure to keep this list more informed of the process moving forward.
