When I first joined Steemit, @clains was posting a weekly "Witnesses Exposed" report - which summarized what all the witnesses were up to. This was by far my favorite Steemit series to read as a new user. I was fascinated about what all the witnesses were up to, and it was great to be able to find all the information in one place!

Since @clains has no longer been posting these (since August), I thought it would be good to try and revive the idea. I will begin posting a weekly "Reports from the Witnesses" series. Each week, I will assemble all the witness reports that have been posted since the previous week. I will do my best to post it every Sunday.

Witnesses can continue posting their posts to the witness-category and/or witness-update tags, and I will assemble everything I find there. If I miss any reports, just let me know and I will correct it ASAP. Also, if any witnesses would prefer to just direct message me a report via Steemit.chat, I can include those as well. (This is how it looks like a lot of them were done back when the Witnessses Exposed series was done.)

Since this is the first report, I did include reports that went back further than 1 week - to try and get updates from each of the witnesses.

So without further ado, I bring you the first 'Reports from the Witnesses'!

Some Notes:

Many witnesses do not report every week, and prefer to only report when they have updates.
I recommend that you include communication as one of your criteria for evaluating witnesses, but keep in mind - it is not the only criteria. There are some witnesses that prefer to work "behind the scenes", and do not do much as far as reports.
For witnesses that are not currently posting any reports, I would encourage you to provide the community with at least some insight into what you are currently working on :)
