[Foundation-l] Interview transcription

[Casey Brown]

So far, the Foundation really hasn't made a comment like that.  Take the @
wikinewsie.org e-mail addresses, the Wikinews people didn't ask the
Foundation for people's own @wikinews.org e-mail address, as that would look
like they were *official* reps.  However, as long as it is understood that
you are just a user or admin or any other thing so long as it doesn't make
you seem like an official representative, the Foundation doesn't seem to
have a problem with that.
