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.

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.

all valid ideas, Arjun - and we will evaluate all of them (and all those shared on this mail thread as well.)  

we'll be reaching out to everyone and anyone who's interested to get their experiences, learnings, suggestions, etc. as we move forward in our evaluation.  this will be an open and collaborative process - and i invite everyone to please take part in this.  we'll send out details on this asap.
