Steven, this was mistakenly sent to the public list instead of the internal list in preparation for the monthly report (apologies for the noise), but it’s a good opportunity to clarify the rationale.
Team updates from Research & Data are read in a consolidated version (the monthly engineering report) by community members, chapters, board members and the general public interested in Tech updates from Wikimedia, but they are also transcluded individually on the team update page [1], where people specifically interested in research can follow what the team is working on. Given that background research on article creation is not limited to data analysis or testing for features developed within Growth it’s important that this reaches the latter type of audience and I believe a little bit of redundancy doesn’t hurt. We want to improve how we communicate and report research. Toby and I will be in touch with product owners and team leads after the Research and Data retreat at the end of the month to discuss how to best move forward.
