This task involves the work with understanding the device(s), browser(s), and, operating system(s) volunteers from Sub-Saharan Africa are using to edit Wikipedia.
This information will help us define the environments we will conduct regression testing and patch verification within throughout the course of this project. More in T314201.

@ppelberg
I've added a tab to the SSA editor dashboard , "SSA editors by OS and Browser", which provides data on the total number of distinct editors from countries identified within the Sub-Saharan Africa region by browser, os and device.
The provided filters can be used to specify the country and wiki of the editor.
Data Source Notes:
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggested changes.
The dashboard is looking good and these Data Source Notes are helpful – thank you, @MNeisler.
Per the conversation we had earlier today, the next steps are:
In parallel, I've filed T317825 to implement the automatic updating you referenced in T314202#8236288.
- UPDATE the dashboard such that it displays information about edits rather than editors. Meaning: after updating, we should be able to answer questions like, "Of all the edits that people in Sub-Saharan Africa (or "in Nigeria" if we wanted to look at a specific country) published in the past 60 days to English Wikipedia, what percentage of those edits were made using the Chrome Mobile browser?
@ppelberg
I've updated the "SSA Editors by OS and Browser" tab of the dashboard to reflect edits rather than editors. Let me know if the data as currently presented helps to answer any identified questions or an additional platform breakdown is needed.
