/me puts the indian subcontinent hat on Hey Randall, Thanks for your inputs. As Sergio said, we are working towards a roadmap on the same to empower cities that have a significant user base (for example in India where the cities are densely populated and has significant amount of user base, here teams are usually formed as user groups locally to just meet up, discuss and socialize, and it helps in case of the subcontinent esp because local groups do tend to cater to the needs faster.Agreed.) So, we are working towards different scenarios and hopefully we would be able to sort out the same pretty soon.
