LOL... the &quot;Wiki-capital&quot; 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 &amp; 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 &quot;wiki-capital in India&quot;. We hope that every
