I would suggest not to take it personally, I dont know who Priyanka Prachad
is, I dont think shes even attending the Delhi Meet. She's not on the
sign-up page from what I see and does not speak for the Delhi community.
lol......so does that mean we are all competing for our cities, I didnt get
that impression so far.

out the following from the info I provided. Probably because it spoiled the
theme of the story. ;-)
3 How good are Bangalore chances of being crowned wiki-capital in
India?
We do not plan on having a "wiki-capital in India". We hope that
every city and town will be a wiki-capital.

If Priyanka Prachad has been quoted right, I'll have to say it is rather
unfair to say that "Bangalore has tiny forums and Mumbai has none". There
are strong communities from out of Bangalore. Shouldn't need to add that
Mumbai has equally strong communities as well.
There is diverse language community thriving on Internet from Bangalore.
In fact, a community in the local language that I personally maintain (
http://sampada.net) started in 2005 has had regular stream of increasing
users all these years. And there are strong communities like Praja (
http://praja.in), Citizen Matters (citizenmatters.in), India Water Portal
(
http://indiawaterportal.org/) and many more from Bangalore... the list is
huge.
