Other suggested communications channels to ask for content:
* Mailing lists - wikimedia, wikipedia, commons, other active project mailing lists, and
EU-based chapters.
* Wiki communications tools, such as en.WP's Signpost.
* For wikis which have them, copyright portals/discussion pages.

To be clear, when I said "I agree" I meant
that I agree that it is the wrong tool. So Amgine and I agree (not sure about Aktron, but
I think he also agrees).
I could see a time when using sitenotice for copyright advocacy could be appropriate -
but it would have to be a very specific, targeted issue, where timely action by a large
number of people could make a very large impact. This clearly is not that sort of thing.

I don't agree with using the SiteNotice. Over-use of this tool is encouraging people
to ignore it, and to block it. The practice of the WMF to arbitrarily clear user
preferences to close central notice pisses people off.
IMO central notice should only be used in a life-or-death situation. This isn't it.

Luis,
Some of the people (outside of WM community) suggested that it might be a good idea to
promote this via SiteNotidce. But I think it is quite a brutal tool.
I agree. Does anyone else have other suggestions?
Btw.: What do you mean by "load into"? I mean, I already did the Czech
translation for copywrongs and I know the youcan.fixcopyright.eu but a question remains
... what is the thing you wanted to do by "loading"?
I meant "whatever it takes to get the content into the tool" - don't know
if it is in git, in a wiki, maintained by hand, etc. Presumably someone has to do some
work to make the answers appear on the site :)
