I think good communications are especially important for nonprofits! If one is donating, they will want to know how their money will be spent.
The things do not need to be highly visible of course -- but they should be at least explained. I don't understand why they are not saying things like "we hired 50 more programmers to keep our servers running, and 25 more to develop new AI to fight spam".
Instead, I looked at "2018 Annual Report" [0], and found those specific points:
- Support researchers who make offline wikipedia
- Advertise itself in Nigeria
- Support participation of women in Wikipedia
- AI to detect vandalism
- Page previews
- Content translation tools
That's 1 user feature and 2 editor features. Did I miss something?
