accreditation system for photographers to attend these kind of thing. The

Interesting indeed. They seem to be proposing an interesting blend of
community and control. Wonder how that will work out for them?
My personal favourite line is that It's very much used by many people
because it covers many topics and it's the No.1 search result on Google.

If the chapter was releasing regular press releases, the media may be more

Probably what we need to do is designate one of our committee members to
take on a press contact role. It wouldn't be hard work - one every 2 or 3
weeks. I ran as an independent candidate for parliament once and just kept
faxing out press releases from a free internet fax box, and you would be
I and one or two other people already have contact with Asher Moses, by the
way. I have some contacts at the Sunday Times in Perth, and I'm sure others
would have state contacts. (This is why we need press coordination :))

I was asked for a comment on the article, but only after it was published.
I recommend that a phone number be added to the contact page on

I updated the press contacts for Australia on foundationwiki not so long

If Angela and Brianna don't mind, I can add their contact phone numbers to
officialwiki - please let me know.

So you're saying that we should only add Brianna's details at this time? Is
there really any problem with you speaking on behalf of the chapter?
You've been the Australian point of contact even before the chapter was
developed... why not? Would it require approval from the committee?

I've added the art gallery of nsw to the wiki page linked upthread, because
it seems they're getting involved in the 'Wiki loves art' project which I've
signed up to. This is getting quite exciting, being a truly international
