Jay,
If I understand you correctly, your vision of future Wikimedia PR is
(1) not that one finds a lot of elements at Meta/Commons, but well
presented and easy to find, to put them together, but that (2) someone
who needs materials in his language can order a localized version from
Wikimedia, in a well concepted and performanced piece, unified visual
identity and so on?

Thanks for this, Sean. I'm sure there have been
other efforts to make
this happen before, but I feel like we can create a solid, long-term
plan from here and stick to it. Ultimately I don't want to use meta
as a storage place - I just want to find everything that's out there,
figure out what's still relevant and then put relevant, timely
materials on the Foundation wiki - particularly so the chapters can
use it.
I'll also be developing a more robust space on the internal wiki that
will contain design-ready, high quality templates (for business cards,
documents, etc). Some of these will use the trademark, so they
shouldn't be broadly available.
And it's worth mentioning that this is one of the reasons to find all
the materials on meta/commons and put it in one place. A lot of those
pieces are basically offering up use of the trademark with little or
no regard for vis-identity.
So bear in mind this isn't about creating a defacto place where all of
these things will live. This is about creating a temporary space
where we can look and decide what is still relevant, what needs to go
away, and then where the good pieces should be hosted for the longterm.
This would be a big help for me and for the Foundation. Creating a
long-term plan for housing approve, accurate, high-quality
communications products and templates will go a long way to supporting
our overall communications objectives.
Thanks!

Hello all,
A project to get involved in:
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/PR_material_cleanup>
"An effort has been started to bring together all the PR and
communications material out there around various wikis and other
locations in one organised space here on meta. It is being loosely
co-ordinated by Sean Whitton and involves ComCom, ComProj and Jay
Walsh. At the moment the project is being planned on this page, which
you are invited to pitch in and edit (discussion should take place on
the ComProj list). When this planning is complete, things will go
ahead per the below plan (which of course can be changed).
The idea is to have a plan and brutally work away at it in order to
get this done in a reasonable timeframe. By focussing on just
PR/communications stuff, we should be able to avoid drifting off and
should be able to finish this project. So, once this page has been
open for planning for a week or so, we'll just get going."
Interested? Go and sign up and contribute to the skeleton and plan :)
Thanks,
Sean
