[Wikimediaindia-l] Death and Post-mortem of Indian Education Program pilot -- #DelayedMail

[Arjun mangol]

Hey all,

I refuse to believe it dead as of yet. There's yet a lot of avenues that
haven't been explored. My personal suggestion was that let IEP establish a
Wikipedia Club in every college in Pune to begin with, that would inculcate
new, interested members who have a genuine passion for the project. Such
clubs could meet every second Sunday, hold guest lecs, set a quota for a
certain no. of articles to be created by the Pune chapter and so on by the
members, teach its members better editing skills, and spread the knowledge.
The CA training prog that I attended was a hell lotta fun and I wish many
of my friends get the feel of it too.

These clubs would be managed by all the 'veteran' CAs and newer ones if
needed as and when. IEP would be the umbrella organisation to it all, and
we can focus a lot more on quality of articles rather than the sheer no. of
editors and rampant copyvio-ing done as a consequence by the newbies. Give
it thought. My friends in many colleges throughout India were literally
jealous that I was a part of it. Let's not let it go unnoticed that there
is genuine interest spread in pockets throughout the country.
