Dear research community,
we've published results of our Editor Trends Study, here:

See this update from Sue for some larger context:

This is an important milestone in our understanding of the Wikimedia editing community. Thanks to Diederik van Liere and Howie Fung for their (continuing) efforts on this.
Looking forward to your comments on-wiki or on-list. :-) As Diederik has announced previously, the code is available here:

We'd love to see more researchers dig into the Wikilytics toolset and into the data.
All best, Erik
