Weekly update:

Contributed to survey development plan
Wrote draft version of updates for the public project page on Meta (officewiki draft available here)
Evaluated administrator candidacy advice across 21 wikis to help shape "potential administrator" population segment for survey development plan
Conducted an examination of publicly available statistics around Requests for Administrator on English Wikipedia

The latter two points should make their way into public updates on the Meta page; when they are live, I'll update this ticket.

Weekly update:

Helped provide feedback to T371139 exploratory metrics (it's very exciting that we have these)
Contributed to narrowing down selection criteria for wikis of interest
Started work on question topics for interview discussion guide
Currently cleaning and analyzing publicly-available data on RFAs from 11 wikis with structured RFA statistics (de, en, es, fa, fr, id, nl, pl, ru, uk, zh)

Weekly update:

Worked on finalization of wiki selection
Finished getting and cleaning RFA statistics for 11 wikis, working on finding where to publish/if it should be published
Contributed to writing updates for the public Meta page for the project, around final wiki selection

I believe we are still on track for this to wrap up within the month, after which my primary focus should switch to T371136 interview work.
