Vickram, what you said is an 'expanded' version of what I meant.
I see no point in wasting time and efforts on such sessions if the net
result is zero.

Hisham, you say you're conducted 22+
sessions. How would you rate the
relative success of each of them? Four people editing on the day isn't
good enough. Long term editors should be used to measure success.
I think what you mean to say is that the editors on the day need to be
tracked (not them: their contributions) regularly. This might aid in
directing them to whatever post-outreach assistance they need, and also
might result in the outreach 'business' snowballing, once other editors see
how effective this is. I see two kinds of success for an outreach program:
1. Outreach multiplication, measured in outreach sessions per period
(week/month/year)
2. Successful outreach sessions, measured in number of editors
contributing x periods (weeks/months/years) after they participated in an
outreach
There is a third possible outcome, which is identifying (and perhaps
rewarding) people who are good (ie conversion of newbies into editors) at
outreach.
I also see a different kind of outreach outcome, but which probably needs
a different kind of outreach session, and that is through the addition of
software contributors.
