*IRC channel for questions/discussion:* #wikimedia-office

*Summary: *This talk will highlight various recent insights and new sources
of data on how readers read Wikipedia, going beyond the familiar pageview
numbers (that tell us which topics are popular and how overall traffic is
developing, but not e.g. which parts of articles are being read). While we
are still only beginning to understand some of these aspects, we now know
more than a year or two ago. The presentation is centered around data
analysis done by the Reading team, but will also include findings by other
WMF teams and by external researchers.
