I know Bala could have used a better tone, however he has raised some very good points. Lets stay focused on this and not convert it into another flame war like the previous IEP thread.
I know you guys have been working hard and that this hurts. However, on the other side of the river, people like Bala are having to face a lot of shit online, hence he is loosing his patience. Lets hope that this research takes your points and his points into consideration and there is a way worked out.

Dear Bala,I'm glad that you came up with few more questions but most of them are in negative tone. We would love to have few questions from you pointing on few of the good things as well.
Please don't mind, it's not personal. Thanks,Ram

Somethings vital that are missing:
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.
2) How many admin actions/interventions were required - warnings, blocks, mergers, deletions, AFDs
3) How many regular volunteer hours were spent on this project. 4) How much did the new page patrollers (NPP) backlog increase because of IEP 5) How much did the copyright cleanup investigations (CCI) backlog increase because of IEP
6) How long is it going to take to clean everything up. What do the NPP/CCI project members feel about the extra workload. 7) What was the impact on the existing en wiki community. How their attitude towards such a program has been damaged.
A supplimentary question: Are kudpung, moonriddengirl, fluffernutter, Voceditenore, spacemanspiff et al being interviewed?

We want to collate data points to be able to analyze and draw out trends.
Here is an example of data that we're trying to dig out (and this is just a
sub-set of a preliminary list)
Sharing the entire list of data points would be a nice thing to have.
If it is possible.
What's the amount of data that students have added to Wikipedia? What's the
amount of data that got reverted? What's the net amount of information that
the students have added on Wikipedia?
The above should lend themselves to instrumentation and should be
somewhat trivially available.
How many students edited articles outside of their in-class assignments?
This is an interesting and non-trivial question. Which prompts me to
ask - why would you want to track this ?
How many student's got warnings on their talk pages? How many students
corrected their errors after these warnings?
How many students got blocked? / How many students got blocked more than
once?
Again, the above should be easily instrumented. At least, the initial
nature of the questions look that way.
