Per what @Ryasmeen and I discussed offline today, we're going to do the following to ensure the new features we'll be introducing as part of this project will work as we expect on the browsers, devices, and operating system the people who we are centering in this work are most likely to be using:

Now: once T325331 is resolved, we're going to identify the countries within SSA where the majority of people who are contributing to Wikipedia are living so that we can then look at the devices they are using. With a list of devices "in hand" we'll compare it with the WMF's existing device inventory to determine what new devices we need to purchase so that we can be sure we're testing the new features we're developing on the devices the people we are centering in this work are likely to be using on them.

Later: ahead of each significant deployment (e.g. introduction of a new feature), we're going to look at the operating systems and browsers the majority of people from within SSA who contribute to said deployment wikis are using and set up our testing environments to match them.

In looking at the Sub-Saharan Africa Editors Supserset dashboard, we see that of the ~2,400 Junior Contributors (<100 cumulative edits) from within SSA who edit the English or French Wikipedias, >80% are living in the ten countries listed below which @Ryasmeen will use to see what devices are popular in these countries so hat we can decide in turn what devices we'll use in the testing we have planned.

I reached out to @Jrbranaa and gave him some information about the EditCheck project. He mentioned that he'll work with @Ryasmeen and @EAkinloose to figure out the devices needed and how to get them for the QTE team.

@Jrbranaa, hi! Are you able to share an update on what – if any – new device support the Editing Team can expect for testing Edit Check-related features?

...I ask the above as the Editing Team gets closer to an initial deployment way of T338907.

Hello @ppelberg, I've just returned to the office. Let me get check on a couple of items and I'll provide a status this coming week (week of July 24th).
