Jay,
As agreed we have put the text of the agreed joint Press Release here:
http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/charity-news/2008-wikipedia-for-schoo...
Our site is accredited with Google News as a news source so this will go life fairly quickly.
We are sending it out to our (mainly UK) media contacts today (this is manual and will get done over a few hours). Can I leave it to you to put this up on the Wikimedia Foundation site and to mail your media contacts?
David,
Last time you were helpful in getting some discussion on slashdot/ the registry etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Wikimedia-UK list: Any help in getting UK media sources interested would be appreciated
