> Janet, have you an idea where we can open in campaigns wikia a place for the public work for such a campaign? There we can create our first letter and make a small list with important people in the FOSS, free knowledge and free culture scene, which shall get this letter.

OK folks where does a directory of free folks/projects 'fit' in the wiki?
What way should we structure something like this?

If we can use this to promote what people are already doing it would
be good, ie i dont want to write to busy people and tell them they
need to help in our project,
but I'd be happy to work on a section which provides recognition for
people who are doing great things for freedom. If we get it happening
then first then tell people about it it gives them something to see.
We might find that linking to the wikipedia entries for these people
is the most effective way to do people, is there a good way to do
projects and distrbutions ? Is this a good campaigns wiki thing to put
together? What other factors fit a broad freedom topic? Best quotes
about freedom?

We do also do training locally and I'll see if we can get some
sensible documentation
we can contribute to SELF.
