A quick update on the status of the retrospective process: We have concluded the survey and had two listening sessions last week. We are currently evaluating the survey response and deciding whether more listening sessions are needed. This puts us roughly in the middle of the consultation phase.

We are quite happy with survey participation. A preliminary look at the data shows that we got over 250 responses, rough half from staff and half from volunteers.

The next steps will be to publish the evaluate the survey and publish our findings. Evaluating the survey is taking a while, since we had several free form questions. We now have to read, group and summaries about a thousad answers.

I was filling out the developer satisfaction survey today, which reminded of this. Its been several months since the last update and going on almost 9 months since the retrospective was announced.

Is this retrospective still a thing? I know there's been quite a few changes to teams around MW since this process was originally announced.

Yes, it is; sorry for lack of update in the interim. As Daniel wrote in September, evaluation and analysis took a while. Retro team members are working on a report with a summary of the survey data. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Today I found https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_decision_making/Technical_Decision-Making_Process_Retrospective_and_Consultation_plan/Retrospective_and_Consultation:_Results_and_Analysis by accident. Looks related?

Yes, it's indeed related. Apologies, we've updated the related wiki page and the mailing lists, but we haven't updated this ticket.

The analysis was, indeed, published, and a notice was sent through the technical mailing lists and on wiki.

Thanks.
