I finished cleaning up and normalizing the data. The complete dataset now consists of 953 items associated with 612 repositories.

This is still in progress - currently analyzing the data and preparing a research report.

I have finished analyzing the data and presented the results to the Technical Documentation Team. Now working on the final report and recommendations.

The final project report is now undergoing team review. I will publish it on mediawiki.org once the review is done. In the meantime, I've also reviewed and improved all data and intermediate research files and made them available to the Technical Documentation Team (for archiving and, potentially, further research).
