Hello all,
At the IRC meeting this evening we brainstormed a great deal about how we can better manage Wikimedia's PR material in the future, and we established an action plan for the first stage, which I'm summarising here. Please be bold and get involved in this.
The idea is to tag all of our PR material, whatever the form or quality, with a hidden category on the wiki it is on. Then, this hidden category will be linked to on our meta page, [[m:PR material cleanup]]. From there we can then decide what to do with it all. We just need volunteers to find this stuff at present.
So:
1) Find PR material - there are some starting locations on [[m:PR material cleanup]]. 2) Determine if the wiki you are working on has [[Category:WMF-COM]]. If it doesn't, create it from the template at [[m:Category:WMF-COM]] and put a link to this category on [[m:PR material cleanup]]. 3) Add the category to all PR material pages you can find.
I hope this is reasonably clear. Thanks for your help in this.
Sean

The full log is available on Meta-Wiki if anyone is interested: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group/Meetings/2008-09-03/Log.
This is great - Looking forward to seeing the cat stuff develop and the page grow. I'll try to help out if I have a few minutes here and there, but I know it's in good hands so far.
Thanks all!
