  Hi @MarcoSwart, sorry for changing the status without explanation. Was in a 
meeting and we were moving things around, but obviously context should have 
been added. This is stalled for now as we're waiting for WMF to advise us on 
the best way forward on migrating data from MariaDB to HDFS. The data processes 
we need to use for this cannot be run directly on MariaDB in a sustainable way 
that's in line with long term supported data practices, so first we need to 
migrate the data to the private data cluster, and then our normal workflows 
take over. This migration is non-standard, and they're looking into how best to 
support/guide us.
  
  By the sounds of it they're allotting the budget of a Staff Engineer to help 
with this soon. The data pipeline and the needed queries are basically done, so 
what we're waiting on is the process to migrate the data as a final step. From 
there we'll get the process up and running such that the data at the very least 
will be exported to the published datasets folders 
<https://analytics.wikimedia.org/published/datasets/> on a daily basis.
  
  As far as a dashboard is concerned, we're also in the midst of looking into a 
more sustainable solution for presenting information to the public. This is 
similarly tied to WMF's efforts on this front. For now we hope that an export 
to the published datasets will suffice such that the community can then take 
the data and model it as they wish. I'd be happy to help people with simple 
Python scripts to get the data loaded into data frames and more workable states 
once that's done! I'd put an estimate on the data process as end of month if 
things work out with WMF's resources, but if not then it's August as I'm away 
for most of July (no later than that though).
  
  Please let me know if you have further questions, and again sorry for the 
confusion!
