We delivered the following analyses:


 * Arabic cohort analysis using UMAPI v1.
 * Erik Zachte provided an analysis of Commons Uploaders
 * 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 Visual Editor 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).
 * 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 visual editor analysis.
