*offlist*

I know Bala could have used a better tone, however he has raised some very good 
points. Lets stay focused on this and not convert it into another flame war 
like the previous IEP thread.

I know you guys have been working hard and that this hurts. However, on the 
other side of the river, people like Bala are having to face a lot of shit 
online, hence he is loosing his patience. Lets hope that this research takes 
your points and his points into consideration and there is a way worked out.

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

Somethings vital that are missing:

1) How many regular editors were required to clean up the articles. How many 
reverts/cleanup edits were required to clean up after the IEP students.


2) How many admin actions/interventions were required - warnings, blocks, 
mergers, deletions, AFDs

3) How many regular volunteer hours were spent on this project.
4) How much did the new page patrollers (NPP) backlog increase because of IEP
5) How much did the copyright cleanup investigations (CCI) backlog increase 
because of IEP



6) How long is it going to take to clean everything up. What do the NPP/CCI 
project members feel about the extra workload.
7) What was the impact on the existing en wiki community. How their attitude 
towards such a program has been damaged. 




A supplimentary question:
Are kudpung, moonriddengirl, fluffernutter, Voceditenore, spacemanspiff et al 
being interviewed?

Sharing the entire list of data points would be a nice thing to have.

If it is possible.

The above should lend themselves to instrumentation and should be

somewhat trivially available.

This is an interesting and non-trivial question. Which prompts me to

ask - why would you want to track this ?

Again, the above should be easily instrumented. At least, the initial

nature of the questions look that way.
