Salmanji, Please don't take it personally either... we are not "competing" for the cities.. :) Do note that the journo is from a Bangalore edition newspaper, so obviously will highlight the "Bangalore part". :) The journo asked about what are the "chances" for Bangalore, I said my personal opinions. She asked her "other contacts" in other cities too.. I also stressed the fact that it is upto the Foundation to decide where this has to be ( which wasn't mentioned in the article).
What matters is not where the foundatation office is set up, what is important is to grow the wiki-community and culture in every corner of the country.
