Yet press releases need to get input from various parts of an organization prior to release and
everybody on the organization level should be aware of their drafting. How is having a separate
wiki that can only be viewed and edited by communications committee members going to faciliate
that? 

Archived press releases should be, well, in the open on the foundation wiki, since those documents
have already been released. It would be bizzare to do anything else. Having a public archive of
past press releases is very common.

And how are those documents going to get prepared without help from various parts of the
organization that they pertain too?

What is wrong with having that on InternalWiki?
