[Wikimediaindia-l] IEP Pilot - Preliminary Analysis

[Swaroop Rao]

Appreciate your comments Bala, and I agree with the spirit of your
questions. We do need to find out the effect that IEP had on the existing
community. More importantly, though, I feel, is that we should concentrate
on where we lacked. We had great Campus Ambassadors working out there, and
we did have some good students.
Next time around, we would probably do good to follow a good structure,
something well defined prior to the start of the program. And that's where
Tory Read's analysis could help.
