The team added a small but important feature to Wikimetrics in December: the ability to authenticate against MediaWiki OAuth. This allows users to sign up for Wikimetrics without relying on a third party for authentication and is an early adoption of MediaWiki OAuth.

We are adding features to Wikimetrics to support scheduled jobs and data access via evergreen URLs. This will support dashboarding and other services that are will be built on top of the service. In addition, we are preparing a Wikimetrics-Vagrant image to help getting started with Wikimetrics development.

Work progresses on enhancing Wikimetrics into a more flexible general tool. This month we completed work on a Vagrant deployment environment which will make it easier for the community to work on Wikimetrics. We've also made progress on the scheduler, reporting enhancements and a deployment issue.

We did some significant architectural work on WikiMetrics this month to prepare it for its role as our recurrent report scheduling and generation system. The first use case for this system will be the Editor Engagement Vital Signs project, which will provide daily updates on key metrics around participation.

New features have been deployed on Wikimetrics: Scheduled Reports & Public Reports.
