Dear Ankit,
Aditya Sengupta, who is a Mumbai-based wikipedian and ex-VJTI has kindly agreed to do this session with me: he will do an editing demo (which is what we will begin with).
So do put him into the official announcement too.
See you tomo - many thanks, Aditya. :)

Also, I have spoken to a few of you offlist - am looking for a Mumbai-based wikipedian who can participate in this with me, and do a hands-on demo since this is part of the VJTI college fest, and there will be many students who have used but never tried to edit wikipedia. A good opportunity for an intro to editing, if nothing else.
Please let me know offlist if you can make it; otherwise, I'll demo it to the best of my ability.
Cheers Bishakha
