Tablets will be sent to the mobile version of the project websites. Previously they were sent to the desktop version. There is a blog post and central notice drafted and ready to go out day of.
Will someone be monitoring the effects [if any] on editing activity and number of active editors/new [10+ edits] editors?

Nope. The total active editors count is not a priority for the Foundation at this time.[1]
1). I'm completely joking of course. Increasing the count of active editors (which is 5+ article edits/month) is one of the listed goals of the mobile web team, which will include monitoring the tablet switchover.

This is not what I asked. I asked about effects of this change, not about totals.

Nemo, if you look at the mobile dashboard that I linked to in my previous email, you can see that all of the charts measure something over time on various scales (daily, weekly, monthly). Outside of a controlled test, looking at the trends over time (including year over year rates of change) is how we measure these potential effects.
