Is there a prize for answering these questions?
These questions look odd without context/clarification.

The conversation is moving off topic. Perhaps the question to mull over is what to do next?
- How do we move the predominance of media coverage beyond mainstream English print into local language print and other media channels such as radio and the Internet?
- How do we encourage volunteers from as many Indic communities as possible to volunteer for communications activities so that as many languages are covered?
- How do we ensure that news coverage is not all warm fuzzy stuff about Wikipedia - but also provides a call to action to potential newbies as well as links or contacts that they can reach out?
- How do we build and expand our network of media contacts?
- How do we build a toolkit for media/PR/social media such that community members are able to rapidly deploy to support specific initiatives such as Wikiprojects or to celebrate community or project milestones?
- How can we use media to support specific community events such as meet-ups or outreach sessions?
- Can we use media/PR to celebrate editing excellence - by showcasing select articles - and also sharing insights and invitations into the movement that is behind this content?
- Can we acknowledge individual life / wiki stories of editors to promote editor retention and newbie attraction?
- Can we build a digital outreach model that is effective? What will it take - in terms of resources such as online tutorials or videos or help pages or chat rooms?
- How does a digital outreach model not duplicate existing efforts already underway or in advanced stages of planning?
- Can we integrate community building into the digital outreach model?
- How do we determine if a language community is able to manage the potential newbie load from such a digital outreach model?
- How do we teach the media about the movement and community and projects - given relatively low levels of understanding within such an influential group?
- How do we support a community initiative like Wikipatrika in a manner that it remains entirely owned by the individual community members - but we are still able to help them? How do we do this without taking away credit and also without building dependence?
- How do we make the India Program monthly newsletters richer and more useful to community members?
- Can we introduce story-telling as a effective means of sharing the work that is done by community members such that we are able to cross-pollinate ideas?
- How can social media be used to drive not just attendance of events (such as photothons) but can be used to introduce newbies to Wikimedia policies?
- How can we adapt the WikimediaIndia handle on facebook so that it expands in popularity - but remains relevant to newbies and more experienced community members?
- How do we build the WikimediaIndia handle on twitter?
- How do we constantly remain on top of trends in social media so that we are present and relevant in channels where potential newbies might be?
- Do we need to localise swag and if so what do we do we need?
- How do we work intimately with the Chapter's communications team - but remain accessible to non-Chapter members as well?
- How do we ensure that everything we do on communications is rooted in community building and not marketing mumbo jumbo?
- How do we measure results in communications?
- How do we constantly ensure that everything done on communications - which will require the communications expertise - can be done in a manner where capability is transferred to interested community members?
