+1 to WDD.
Also, let us NOT mix Social Media with Wikipedia. I don't want people
posing 'Wl u be mai frnd' on my Talk page.
Social Media and Wikipedia, is a big NONO.
I realised this back in 2010 when I was trying to use Twitter to get more
Wikipedians.

Hi,
The conversation is moving off topic. Perhaps the question to mull over is
what to do next?
1. How do we move the predominance of media coverage beyond mainstream
English print into local language print and other media channels such as
radio and the Internet?
2. How do we encourage volunteers from as many Indic communities as
possible to volunteer for communications activities so that as many
languages are covered?
3. How do we ensure that news coverage is not all warm fuzzy stuff
about Wikipedia - but also provides a call to action to potential newbies
as well as links or contacts that they can reach out?
4. How do we build and expand our network of media contacts?
5. How do we build a toolkit for media/PR/social media such that
community members are able to rapidly deploy to support specific
initiatives such as Wikiprojects or to celebrate community or project
milestones?
6. How can we use media to support specific community events such as
meet-ups or outreach sessions?
7. Can we use media/PR to celebrate editing excellence - by showcasing
select articles - and also sharing insights and invitations into the
movement that is behind this content?
8. Can we acknowledge individual life / wiki stories of editors to
promote editor retention and newbie attraction?
9. Can we build a digital outreach model that is effective? What will
it take - in terms of resources such as online tutorials or videos or help
pages or chat rooms?
10. How does a digital outreach model not duplicate existing efforts
already underway or in advanced stages of planning?
11. Can we integrate community building into the digital outreach
model?
12. How do we determine if a language community is able to manage the
potential newbie load from such a digital outreach model?
13. How do we teach the media about the movement and community and
projects - given relatively low levels of understanding within such an
influential group?
14. How do we support a community initiative like Wikipatrika in a
manner that it remains entirely owned by the individual community members -
but we are still able to help them? How do we do this without taking away
credit and also without building dependence?
15. How do we make the India Program monthly newsletters richer and
more useful to community members?
16. Can we introduce story-telling as a effective means of sharing the
work that is done by community members such that we are able to
cross-pollinate ideas?
17. How can social media be used to drive not just attendance of
events (such as photothons) but can be used to introduce newbies to
Wikimedia policies?
18. How can we adapt the WikimediaIndia handle on facebook so that it
expands in popularity - but remains relevant to newbies and more
experienced community members?
19. How do we build the WikimediaIndia handle on twitter?
20. How do we constantly remain on top of trends in social media so
that we are present and relevant in channels where potential newbies might
be?
21. Do we need to localise swag and if so what do we do we need?
22. How do we work intimately with the Chapter's communications team -
but remain accessible to non-Chapter members as well?
23. How do we ensure that everything we do on communications is rooted
in community building and not marketing mumbo jumbo?
24. How do we measure results in communications?
25. How do we constantly ensure that everything done on communications
- which will require the communications expertise - can be done in a manner
where capability is transferred to interested community members?
