i think Greg would be great as long as he has the time to do so...i imagine inquiries from the press would be sporadic.
Somey would of course be the natural choice as he seems to do the day to day things around here...
Somey would be better than me, with the stipulation that he's willing to put a name and a face to himself for reporters/photographers/podcasters.
Just to dispel a couple of things if I do end up with this post -- first, I
would have enough time to act as a press liason, especially if the gang "fed" me with clearly organized talking points on various issues, etc.
Second, I
don't have much interest in promoting Centiare at this time. To concede a point to Guy Chapman, the world isn't yet ready for semantic web via the Mediawiki platform. Thanks to the 90/9/1 rule, too few average people actually know how to create a good wiki article. Even so, I'm surprised that an organization like Little League Baseball hasn't woken up to the possibilities of a semantic wiki database (imagine every pee-wee team in the world, immortalized with player names, positions, stats, and photos, which could be archived season after season after season. Then imagine doing semantic layered searches for things like "active left-handed pitchers with at least 6 wins, in the state of Nebraska".) Would be cool. And, it would have helped if perpetual critics like Guy Chapman would have endorsed the platform, rather than disparaged it.
But, as I said, Somey gets my vote, if he's willing to not be an anonymous source. Journalists won't go for that.
