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!

Glad to hear that!

Oh yeah, definitely. Will come once the code, etc is done :)
