For the 2022-2023 fiscal year, the Editing Team is considering centering the work we will do around people A) who are contributing to a Wikipedia from sub-Saharan Africa and B) who have made fewer than 100 cumulative edits to Wikipedia.
Before moving forward with defining the audience in the ways "A)" and "B)" describe, we would like to understand:
- What language Wikipedias the people who are contributing from sub-Saharan Africa and who have made fewer than 100 cumulative edits are most active with?
- Knowing the above will help us determine what projects we will consider partnering most closely with in the 2022-2023 fiscal year.
- On average, how many people from sub-Saharan Africa during a given month are making their first edit to Wikipedia as an account holder?
- Knowing the above will help us determine how long we can expect the quantitative analyses we have planned to reach statistic significance.
