talking about journalists... it might be good to consider telling the local teams (or at least the winning team) some time in advance before making the decision public, to enable them to prepare a proper (joint) press release from the chapter and/or the wmf. I know this is not very ideal towards the community, but this might be an advantage to catch attention, and to reach out that way. <br>

</div>Hmm, how about we do not press the jury too hard, or not at all, in<br>
order to help them make the right decision? We also would love not to<br>
wake all the journalists up at the time when they ought to be sound<br>
asleep, but hey...<br>
