Srikanth,

1. Whether they take or not, this will be a professional way for us to do. This will also be a good way to document our activities.

2. And if they take, it is a good chance for us to convey the exact message as it is. During the press conference on Tamil Wiki contest, while many magazines misreported, the ones we sent a press release published it exactly. When all they want is news and not views, the press release will help. If we can send a press release, even the magazines who didn't send their reporters personally will cover the event.

3. It will be good idea to elect / select and announce Spokespersons who can speak on behalf on Wiki in India (both language wise and on behalf of chapter when it is formed). This way media will be aware of the right people to contact if they want to clarify any thing.

Ravi,

while that is a good point, do you think the press still will take it? I mean, it's not what they get, but what they put into the final print.

Regards,
