Hi,
I just read from the IEP talk page in en wiki that IEP program has been cancelled for the next term. * I'm also surprised that you think we are "ploughing ahead" -- we are not. We canceled the program for the upcoming term so we could focus on fixing the problems.* - LiAnna Davis, GEP communications manager, WMF [1]
In the same page, i see the first use of the "failure" word. from the organisers. (* I don't feel that we can say we've involved the community in determining why the Pune Pilot failed*). A page full of insights from interviews conducted with people involved ruminating on why the program failed has been added.[2] Looks finally we have gotten around to plainspeak and learning from mistakes. (I believe these interviews are separate from Tory Read's report, which is due on Jan 15.)
It would have better if we had been informed here too, instead of having to dig through talk page discussions. Since IEP discussions have taken all over the place, please take care to make important announcements like this are made in all places where previous discussions have taken place - meta, en wiki project page, india list and INT noticeboard in India.

hi Bala,
Could we also have some idea on how we can help with the cleanup that was needed? Is there a category in which these articles are placed so that we can clean-up the articles? I have heard about the clean-up being needed and felt that I could offer some assistance.
warm regards, Pradeep User:Prad2609 Handheld

Hi Pradeep,
Here is the CCI page for IEP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/...
This page lists all known IEP students and their contribs. A CCI checker needs to go through the diffs provided, compare with the ref/google it and see whether it is copyvio or not. Take a look at CCI instructions and the various notations used and start with a small contrib to begin with. CCI people are usually helpful and correct new participants.
regards Bala

Hi,
There is also a special extension being developed for Education Program[1] and hope this will introduce a systemic workflow by default for students joining through *EP, hence there could be great control and will help wikipedian volunteers / CA / OA etc. I think the next IEP will also have these tools which will help people who volunteer for / manage the project.
