Production and publication dates of what?

Well... it links to what it says: to the team. That's where they hang out and 
are ready to talk to newcomers and guide them on their way.

Only is not a "discussion channel", at least in the sense that is not where 
they discuss how to welcome people (that happens elsewhere). It is the place 
where they actually welcome people. It is not some sort of meta channel or 
anything like that. I am not sure what you would have preferred I link to.

Read it at face value: the first section discusses what happened in 2018, while 
the second is the official 2017 report made after the closure of the 2017 
financial year. If you need more clarification, maybe ask Eike, Neofytos, or 
some other member of the working group?
