which 5 are very active editors. Assamese

about 90 participants, more than a dozen project demonstrations, and a

Since we have not one, but two bids from India, I think that is important
to be announced here (I would rather prefer if all of you could work
together in a single bid, but if is not possible, at least list both under
the right section in the page)

hi,
If I understand it correctly, the Mumbai bid has been left as a
placeholder bid from India. If such a placeholder bid is not needed,
we'd like to initiate discussions on the Mumbai list on the status of
our bid and make the appropriate announcement on the Mumbai
community's decision on the
I strongly concur with the most of the thoughts of Ashwin below.
The need of the hour is the build the strong Indian Wikipedias and
Wiki-communities within India.
IMHO, We are too early to host a Wikimania in India. While we had a
successful Wikiconference Mumbai, I think we all agree that we

hi,
I missed this line in my last email: I concurr with what Ashwin has said.
I think we must aim towards making WikiConference India as good as and
perhaps better than Wikimania before we seriously put in a bid for
Wikimania.

Forwarding a thread from the Mumbai list, relevant to a similar
discussion on this list. In a nutshell, this matter was discussed at the
recent Mumbai Meetup and the local community feels that it should
concentrate more on smaller local events in the short-term to build on
grassroots rather
Thank you all for your responses.
Thanks Pradeep for telling us that the bid was a placeholder bid. I
was not aware of that. Placing the placeholder was indeed a good
action, though of course, it would have been better if wider publicity
of placeholder being placed were given.
I'm personally
+1 tp Pradeep's sentiments to first making WikiConferences quality events.

Dear All,
It almost took me quite sometime to go through the mailers above.
I honestly go by what Ashwin says. I pretty much understand that India,
needs more local events to establish itself inside the country and then we
can aim to bring in Wikimania's.
If I may make a suggestion, I would
+1 Ashwin.
As far as I know none of the Wiki communities of India (either language or
city) are in a stage to host an international conference. For time being
let us concentrate on building communities and let us gain confidence by
doing some good regional and language specific conferences.
Just a small suggestion/food for thought: Mostly in events like Wikimania
or others that bring together content experts, the organizing bit is
outsourced to experienced event managers who work in collaboration and
understand the needs of the community. I think we should consider getting

Not in totality. What can be outsourced are things like food / hotels /
logistics etc.

a more structured community building exercise from foundation, chapter,
existing Wikipedians is going on and it will take some time for a proper
community. Putting a bid and conducting an event physically are things of 2
