Hi,<br><br>I appreciate the wise decision from Indian Wikipedia community to opt out of Wikimania bid until next few years. <br><br>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.<br>
