What exactly is Lightly Active Editors?

Is it 1+ edits per month, or 3+?

Just in case the answer is 1+. As I explained in mailing lists (and am happy to expound on here) I find it hard to support the idea that a person with just one edit is even called an an editor. Just like a person who writes one word or even sentence per month isn't called a writer. Words lose their meaning if they comprise such fringe cases.

I'm note sure 3+ adds much of a new perspective. We've been consistently using 5+ and 100+ thresholds for so long, without ever much controversy, which says a lot in Wikimedia context ;-)

I think we were thinking 3-4 (since 3+ would be inclusive), I agree with you about 1+. These breakdowns are the least finalized part of the data model. We're aiming them mostly to satisfy quick lookups and we're hoping the more advanced table interface (not designed yet) will cover everyone's needs. I think we should revisit the breakdowns once we figured out what that big table thing looks like.

Aren't we going with canonical/consolidated definitions?

We have a hard task of combining multiple conflicting definitions and making use of richer data. The canonical definitions will be available at least in the advanced table view.
