In my opinion the length should be variable - we want them to be easy to 
read and informative and we don't want to pad them. We do want the 
report as a whole to seem like it has some substance, but I think given 
how much usual information we put in there it shouldn't be a problem. I 
would err more towards visuals/infographics if we can than wordy 
articles. (I think so long as there's a substantial financial section, a 
report on membership, some info on hackfests and events, an intro from 
you and some pictures we'll be golden)
