We delivered many following analyses in June, including one of Arabic cohort using UMAPI v1. Erik Zachte provided an analysis of Commons uploaders, and we provided the Wikipedia Zero team with a number of datasets to help them in tracking adoption of the Wikipedia Zero project across the globe. We supported the VisualEditor and Editor Engagement teams with experimental design, data modeling and data analysis for two controlled experiments: a test of the impact of impact of notifications and a first test of the impact of Visual Editor on new contributors. The tests were carried out in June and the reports are being updated with the results of the analysis. We started using the EE-dashboard instance on Labs to host dashboards related to editor engagement projects, that were previously hosted on the Toolserver (see the metrics and features dashboards for the English Wikipedia). Last, we worked with the Features engineering team to expand MediaWiki's instrumentation and collect data on cluster-wide user preference changes and edit-related events to support VisualEditor analysis.
