Those are valid points, FT2 - thanks. There are many ways we could go about
this release, and I think the direction taken here is in line with how we
expect much (not all) media to engage on this topic: celebratory, somewhat
light-hearted and joyful look at the project.
I like this version in that it proposes a lofty trajectory of growth and
change. It doesn't try to cover all of the bases, and though the final
version has some of the vision-forward facing stuff, it strikes a reasonable
balance.
Glad to see everyone's comments of course. The release isn't the center of
the celebration - let's hope the coverage generated by all of the events,
chapters, and celebrators builds for a great story.

Thanks, F2.
It's always good to receive feedback so we know what's working and not
working for volunteers in all parts of the world. When we create these
resources, it's important for everyone to share
ideas/opinions/suggestions so we can apply what we learn in the
future.
And again, like I mentioned in my initial email, right now we're
trying to create things in a way that is customizable, or provide
examples for ways to use the information. We really encourage you to
change it in any way you feel will be most effective for press in your
region.
Cheers,
Moka

That sounds like an excellent event, Apurva! The metaphor of a kite
campaign to celebrate Wikipedia isn't lost on me, that's for sure.
And judging by the 50 or so names you've already got on the page, I'd say
you're on the right track! Can't wait to see pictures from this event.

hi,
I see that the embargo is for January 14 0000 hrs (India time). For us, this
means that the press release will go out on January 14, 2010. This means it
will appear in the papers only on January 15 here.
Papers here get ready for print (without breaking stories) at about 4 pm - 5
pm. Having a press release before that time on January 13 would be of help
as the report would appear on Jan 14 and will give people time to see the
information and attend the event.
Suggesting a time line of January 13, 2011 around 1030 hrs UTC or earlier
would be great. Dunno how it affects celebrations further down the line
towards Australia and New Zealand.
warm regards,
Pradeep

Hi Itzik,
Here's the transcribed text of Jimmy's anniversary address. You can
pass it along to the people who translate it to other languages.
It would be nice if someone prepared a standard subtitles file out of it.
