Hi Folks

As many of you are aware, one of the decisions India Programs needs to take is where to locate the office.  On a sub-page tof India Programs (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Office_Location), I've put together the selection criteria that are currently going into the decision, as well as the list of towns/cities to be evaluated.

Can I request you to have a look these, and share your views on the Talk page (or directly with me, if you prefer.)  I'd appreciate any kind of comments, and from as many community members as possible.  For instance, you could mention if any additional criteria should be included, or if some existing one(s) should be deleted, or if any particular weightage(s) is high/low.  Also, I've put down the list of towns/cities currently being considered.  I've deliberately kept an additional column for "any other location."  Please discuss the name(s) of any other town/location.

You'll notice that I haven't actually put the scores down for each town/city; that's the next step.

Thanks!
