Ha! Tom, I like your thinking about Arianna and Wikinews relationship. For
that reason, having her in some way that isn't just a "keynote" per se
would be interesting. Perhaps a "conversation with Arianna" or an on-stage
interview would be interesting.
On the other hand, Arianna is not known to go to Asia that much on the
Huffington Post's behalf, and if she's not headlining I'm not sure she'd
be
interested.

3. Arianna Huffington. Not really a fan of this pick. Can get quite

+1. Too American-centric, too political.
Must note that as a Wikinewsie, it might interesting to have someone like
Arianna or someone else who is involved in social news and citizen
journalism. But that might conflict with the requirement that we never talk
about the sister projects. :-)
