FWIW: depending on the threshold chosen in step 2 of Anonymization
suggested by Yuvi, some of the countries/languages will have no data. This
data will solve the problem for some of the partners, but not all of them.

THIS IS SO USEFUL!
For grantmaking, this is the exact type of dataset we want to have
publicly available. A lot of the initiatives we fund are at a country-based
level, and our partners have a really hard time understanding the effects
of the work they are doing on the aggregate language-wiki level. In
addition to this edits per country, it would be even more important for us
to get the total number of editors / active editors by country as well.
Kevin - it would be great to get an update from on the timeline for this
(in Q4 2014-15, it was punted to Q1 2014-15, but I haven't heard anything
about it yet ...)
Thanks for starting this work, Yuvi!

Hey Yuvi,
this sounds like very interesting data to look at. Here are my
thoughts:
:D
- the Anonymization scheme sounds reasonable, and
I'd like to hear from
someone else @ wikimedia who has similar experience anonymizing data
sets
Glad to hear that!
- you were probably already thinking about it,
but we need documentation
too: a wikipage with the name of the table, data dictionary, etc... and
even
a blog post to announce the newly available data.
Oh yeah, definitely. Will come once the code, etc is done :)
