Well worth doing and well written - many thanks
for this. We're
getting together quite a list of press contacts and it's the kind of
story in a news-light time of the year that could fly well.
When should it be put out? Given that 1 Jan falls on a Friday and the
previous Monday is a bank holiday, does Tuesday 29th make sense?
Yes. That's a week to see who you might can get signed up to it.
Also coincides with a WMUK board meeting, so if anything needs
approving at that level (although I'm not sure it needs to) we can do
that as well.
I guess we should add some bits at the end:
- explaining who WMUK
- link into Britain Loves Wikipedia?
Headline? Wikipedia looks forward to Public Domain Day?
I sent out a few emails to see who might be interested in this. I'm
waiting on a response from the US Copyright Office as to precisely which
of Yeats' works will be PD on January 1.
