Extension request

New end date

15 September 2016

Rationale

After developing this timeline, it became apparent that the entire initial 6 months would be needed for thorough review of the scripts and documentation, including multiple reviews with Victor, project volunteers, and community members. I am requesting a timeline extension to 15 September 2016. I am not requesting changes to the budget at this time, although there is the possibility that I might do so in the future depending on how time-consuming the steps are in this process. It is possible that some steps during these 9 months might involve minimal revision and communication, while others might require time-consuming work or rework. Budget changes will depend on hours worked rather than number of weeks or months in the timeline.

Hi Pine, happy to approve a timeline extension, with a new end date of 15 September 2016. If you start to see an indication that a budget request may be necessary down the line, please speak to me about it as early on as you possibly can so we can discuss options. Cheers, --Marti (WMF) (talk) 23:54, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Midpoint report date

Due to questions regarding whether other priorities would require me to end my participation in this project much sooner than anticipated, I have been waiting to complete the midpoint report until I knew if it would also become an endpoint report. Now that I have confirmed my ability to continue this project during the summer on a modified schedule, I plan to complete the midpoint report this weekend. --Pine^✉ 18:12, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Extension request

New end date

December 31, 2016

Rationale

I am continuing work on the project. I believe that the bulk of my work will be completed by mid to late September with the first drafts of the scripts, and requests for community feedback. Victor will review the script in October. I hope to have time to incorporate feedback from the community and Victor in October or November. After that feedback is incorporated, I believe that Victor will begin work with NLaFleur on production. Note that production work may extend beyond December, and I may continue to be involved with the project on a low-intensity basis after December. I anticipate that my involvement with the project will gradually decline rather than having a definitive cut-off date. There are no change requests for the project budget at this time. --Pine^✉ 03:39, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
