I'll reply to your earlier post and state my main objection to this before
stopping. I don't really care as much as I might be leading you to believe,

Hi,
A local MediaWiki Group is a nice initiative be it in Ahmedabad or anywhere
else as long as there are enthusiastic volunteers involved. It'll be nice
