<div>Appreciate your comments Bala, and I agree with the spirit of your questions. We do need to find out the effect that IEP had on the existing community. More importantly, though, I feel, is that we should concentrate on where we lacked. We had great Campus Ambassadors working out there, and we did have some good students. </div>
<div>Next time around, we would probably do good to follow a good structure, something well defined prior to the start of the program. And that's where Tory Read's analysis could help.</div><div><br></div><br clear="all">

Somethings vital that are missing:<br><br>1) How many regular editors were required to clean up the articles. How many reverts/cleanup edits were required to clean up after the IEP students.<br>2) How many admin actions/interventions were required - warnings, blocks, mergers, deletions, AFDs<br>
3) How many regular volunteer hours were spent on this project.<br>4) How much did the new page patrollers (NPP) backlog increase because of IEP<br>5) How much did the copyright cleanup investigations (CCI) backlog increase because of IEP<br>
6) How long is it going to take to clean everything up. What do the NPP/CCI project members feel about the extra workload.<br>7) What was the impact on the existing en wiki community. How their attitude towards such a program has been damaged. <br>

</div>Sharing the entire list of data points would be a nice thing to have.<br>
If it is possible.<br>

</div>The above should lend themselves to instrumentation and should be<br>
somewhat trivially available.<br>
<div><br>

<br>
</div>This is an interesting and non-trivial question. Which prompts me to<br>
ask - why would you want to track this ?<br>
<div><br>

<br>
</div>Again, the above should be easily instrumented. At least, the initial<br>
nature of the questions look that way.<br>
