So far, the Foundation really hasn't made a comment like that. Take the @
wikinewsie.org e-mail addresses, the Wikinews people didn't ask the
Foundation for people's own @wikinews.org e-mail address, as that would look
like they were *official* reps. However, as long as it is understood that
you are just a user or admin or any other thing so long as it doesn't make
you seem like an official representative, the Foundation doesn't seem to
have a problem with that.

I'll chip in on transcribing later today; I need the practice. Quick
thought based on what's transcribed so far: You'd be better off
identifying yourself as from Wikipedia than Wikimedia or Wikinews.
Not many people are as familiar with the subprojects as the core
Wikipedia project. Fox News certainly reporters don't introduce
themselves as employees of NewsCorp.
It brings up a good question: How does the Foundation feel about
people identifying themselves as from Wikipedia, Wikinews, etc? The
Wikipedia brand name is a very strong one and could open a lot of
doors, but if misused could result in a lot of doors being slammed in
our collective face.
