And - to stay with the sandbox metaphor from another thread - if the<br>

Hisham will recall I had queried this approach at a meetup way back when. This was before I found that it had a history, being a successful initiative in another milieu. I am sure now, with this experience, we can find ways to make the program work more effectively here, one possibility (not the only one) being shedding the college campus-centric focus, and reaching out more widely to people, in order to welcome more people within the contributory fold. As Abhilash points out, this was a pilot, and it is up to us to evaluate its learnings and move forward from it, not trash it or its participants.</div>
