This is actually a real interesting point - and I'd love more CAs to get similarly involved in talking Wikipedia outside of their own classrooms. They bring a powerfully fresh perspective, are amazingly motivated and are able to connect really well with potential newbie editors, especially students.

Thanks for the many kind words, Bishakha. I'm glad it went off well.  Strictly speaking though, all the credit for the organizing of this goes to Ram (who's co-ordinating the program in Pune) and to the CAs themselves!  I just made a phone call...
