LOL... the "Wiki-capital" term was coined by the journo herself.. Anyways glad to see the buzz around the foundation office ... I had indeed told her it is upto Barry & the Foundation to decide where to set up the Foundation office.. Ofcourse, journos like to ride on stories of speculations ... <br>

We do not plan on having a "wiki-capital in India". We hope that every
city and town will be a wiki-capital.<br>
