Question computer experts over South American city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quito

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'south american city' is the definition.
(capital of Ecuador)

'question computer experts over' is the wordplay.
'question' becomes 'qu' (abbreviation).
'computer experts' becomes 'it' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'qu'+'it'+'o'='QUITO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for quito that I've seen before include "Capital of Ecuador" , "S America" , "Ecuadorian capital" , "City" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
