Thanks for your response.
I think it will be appropriate to discuss further when the programs are
implemented for real by A2K / CIS.

Hi,
A local MediaWiki Group is a nice initiative be it in Ahmedabad or anywhere
else as long as there are enthusiastic volunteers involved. It'll be nice
to see this group come to life (MediaWiki group Ahmedabad or a chapter SIG).
I must say it's quite awkward not seeing any involvement of Harsh,

I'll reply to your earlier post and state my main objection to this before
stopping. I don't really care as much as I might be leading you to believe,
