Week ending 9/6

Executive summary

For the third week running, all of the week's work landed on Monday and the next six days shipped nothing. Unlike the prior two near-silent weeks, this Monday cleared two items these reports have flagged for weeks: the drafted preview and select-text-to-action Help article was finally committed, and content-pipeline work resumed with Burmese's canonical registry, the offline merge step that feeds Library Review. Building it added a third review queue of 199 pending decisions on top of German and Spanish. Separately, the quarter's site traffic was compiled into a partner update: 377 visitors from 48 countries over the 91 days to 5 September, just over a third of them outside the United States.

What's new

• Change

  Built Burmese's canonical registry, the offline merge step behind Library Review, adding a third review queue of 199 pending decisions.

  Impact

  Contested Burmese terminology can now be reviewed in the app alongside German and Spanish.

  Next action

  Assign at least one reviewer to any of the three open queues.

• Change

  Committed the preview and select-text-to-action Help article, drafted and flagged ready across the two prior weeks.

  Impact

  The Studio text-selection feature now has a written explanation for anyone who finds it.

  Next action

  None; this closes a documentation gap open since the feature shipped.

• Change

  Compiled the quarter's site traffic into a partner update: 377 visitors from 48 countries in 91 days.

  Impact

  Partners have evidence the Library reaches five continents, with 36 percent of visitors outside the United States.

  Next action

  Decide how to convert one-page visits in 21 single-visitor countries into longer sessions.

• Change

  Drafted a plan for short bilingual explanations on each Library Review option, so far uncommitted.

  Impact

  Reviewers who cannot read a bare rendering must currently leave the app to understand their vote.

  Next action

  Commit the plan and decide whether it ships before more languages enter review.

Business impact

Burmese now joins German and Spanish as a language whose contested terminology can be reviewed in the app, but with still no reviewer assigned, that is 539 decisions queued across three languages instead of 203 across two. Anyone who finds the Studio preview and select-text-to-action feature finally has a written explanation of it, closing a gap open since the feature shipped. The traffic figures give partners concrete evidence the Library is used well beyond the United States, on five continents, with visits averaging over nine minutes.

Metrics

  539(was 203) ▲ Up from last period

  German 137, Spanish 203, Burmese 199. Burmese's queue was built this week; the earlier figure tracked Spanish alone, and German's queue has been open and unreported since 9 August.

• Book pages live in the Library

  No language package logged new book content this week; the Burmese work was a registry merge, not generation.

• Languages with a published Library bundle

  The preview and select-text-to-action article, flagged ready for two weeks, was committed.

• Countries reached this quarter (Plausible)

  48(was not previously reported) ▲ Up from last period

  377 visitors over the 91 days to 5 September, 137 outside the United States, across five continents; visits averaged 9m 14s.

Risks

Three consecutive weeks have now compressed all activity into a single day, with nothing shipped Tuesday through Sunday and still no stated reason. The registry review queue grew by 199 decisions this week, to 539 across three languages, while reviewer capacity stayed at zero, now more than six weeks unstaffed since the review tool shipped. A plan for the next Library Review improvement was drafted this week but left uncommitted, repeating the pattern the last two reports flagged with the Help article.

Decisions needed

Leadership: name the first volunteer reviewers, now more than six weeks unresolved against three separate queues (German 137, Spanish 203, Burmese 199). Confirm whether the one-active-day-per-week pattern, now three weeks running, is a deliberate pause or an unplanned stall. Decide whether the drafted Library Review explanations plan proceeds now or waits.

Next Week

• Name the first volunteer reviewers against three open queues totalling 539 decisions
• Commit the drafted Library Review bilingual-explanations plan, or decide it waits
• Confirm whether the three-week one-day-per-week work pattern is deliberate
• Decide how to deepen engagement in the 21 countries that sent a single visitor
