This is too far and too expensive for me to get to; do we have *anybody* who could go? I'd be happy to help work on presentation materials and the like but the key thing is can we get represented?
We've just been Digg'd and Slashdotted for our story on the "Anonymous" attack on CoS websites. The key thing I note in all the coverage is that we're treated no differently than if a link to BBC News Online had been posted. Combine this with things like David Shankbone's interviews and you could say "Wikinews has arrived". Who can go and deliver this message?
