No. This was missing in the 2013 iteration. Based on that learning we 
have explicitly brought this component for the 2015 version.


 My expectation

was that it would serve as a nice baseline for any future set of
participants in a similar exercise. Additionally, it would help
demonstrate a somewhat direct (if not linear) co-relation between the
investment in the program and the improvements brought about.



Yes. A prudent suggestion. We will try to work on this.

Thanks,
Vishnu

Has there been an outreach to the participants from 2013 asking them
to document (in form of blog posts etc) the efficacy of the event in
enhancing their skills and aiding in what they are currently doing.



We have been tracking, informally (as the group was small), the 2013 
participants' outreach activities. More than 50% of the participants 
have been doing outreach (on and off wiki). Some of them have become 
outreach champions in their respective communities.


Documentation (especially in the form of blog posts) is not realistic 
and a huge ask. The active editors among Indic projects is small and 
such external documentation will be a needless overhead, of course 
unless they voluntarily do it. Most use their respective language 
projects for on-wiki documentation and publicize in social media groups.


Best,
Vishnu

I was under the impression that volunteers were to be in-house ie from
Bangalore itself. Perhaps I was mistaken. :)
