Hi,
I appreciate the wise decision from Indian Wikipedia community to opt out
of Wikimania bid until next few years.
Even Wikiconference India need not be an annual event considering the
amount of human and financial resources spent on it. What we need is
strengthening local communities in each language and city by means of more
meetups, unconferences, outreach, on project activity and events with
specific goals like hackathons.
