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/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.

Hi all,
please find the Wikimedia Foundation's report for the first quarter of
this fiscal year at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Foundation_Quarterly_Repor…
.
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.
Terry Gilbey, Chief Operating Officer

A wiki version should become available on Meta-wiki tomorrow, and we
will also announce the report in a blog post.
