Cc-hk mailing list

[Ben <chpapa AT gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Finally -- It is holiday and I've some spare time now.. :-) I've
reorganized the cchk.wetpaint.com wiki site a bit and a new branch of
wiki page "Launch Plan" was created.

The new wiki page includes different sub-pages which are the
components we need to plan for the CC-HK launch inspired by Rebecca's
email. Please feel free to add / remove page, and start the discussion
and planning.

http://cchk.wetpaint.com/page/Launch+Plan

For now please feel free to discuss on mail thread and list as much
idea as possible in wiki. :-)

To start with, I would like to ask these two questions which seems to
have quite a lot of discussion last Tue night, but we didn't have
enough time....

1. What are the core message at CC-HK launch? Do we want a specific
one or a "neutral" one? etc...

2. In what form do we want the future CC-HK organization in? What is
the scale? What is the purpose of this organization? Do we want it
actively promote CC in Hong Kong or a supporting organization for
other CC related projects in HK?
