So; we have the second week of results.
To set the stage: ISP caches will be cleared, so we might see desktop drop.
Weekend traffic will show up, which means we might see the type of people
accessing wikipedia change, and bring new preferences and demographics into
play. It's been longer since the switchover, so people who dislike the
change have had more chances to find the opt-out. It's the data wheel of
fortune, and nobody knows where your spin will take you!
The answer is "a good place". The weekend made absolutely no difference; it
bumped the amount of desktop traffic by a tiny amount, compared to a big
increase for mobile, which suggests not just that most people have happily
switched over but that the people who have switched are our most frequent
and active visitors. Day-on-day, we saw no significant increase in desktop
opt-ins - in fact, a slight decrease from the (already tiny) 5-ish percent.
Looks like being WP:BOLD and switching our tablet users to mobile in one
fell swoop was a good decision, and our readers think so too :).

Tomasz,
one of the analytics goals for Q1-2015 is to deliver traffic metric
definitions (primarily: pageviews, unique clients) and their breakdown by
target site, device or device class and geography.
We will keep monitoring page requests using the interim definitions Oliver
applied to the sampled logs [1], but there’s more work that needs to be
done to turn these into fully vetted, production-level reports generated
from the unsampled logs.
We’re currently turning the mobile analytics priorities discussed with
Howie, Maryana and Dan into cards and we’ll share the list once it’s
completed.
Mobile is a focus area for Q1 with virtually two dedicated people from
Research & Data supporting the team with traffic and contribution research.
We’ll be also reinforcing our traffic crunching capacity with a new
dedicated research position that we’ll be opening in Q1 and realistically
we should expect to have onboard in Q2.

That's fine.
Maryana, it would be good to keep track of this over the quarter.
Where would this sit on your priority list of analytics requests that
need to have complete/scalable implementations ?
if there is already a backlog of these then feel free to point me to it.
