[Wikimediaindia-l] IEP Pilot - Preliminary Analysis

[Ram Shankar Yadav]

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
