Lots of EA orgs write copious amounts of reports, I think—http://careyryan.com/transparency/. As far as I can tell, that’s continued over the past year. They’re not just fluffy generalities that would please donors, but I agree that they could give more focus to failures and strategic updates than they already do.
Peter, what exact kinds of reports would make the difference for you? How would the table of contents read? I feel like if anything EA orgs spend already too long evaluating and not enough time growing.
Have you thought of updating that? I remember, or think I remember, you doing a version for individuals which I found especially interesting, which could perhaps be rolled into one periodically updated page (updateable by anyone?) rather than a series of blog posts.
The update that I did on individuals is also now over a year old. I’m too time-poor presently, although I could imagine an ongoing transparency update could be a useful thing to have.

Anyone want to create one on the EA Wiki?
