Communication Strategy
Note: I’m in the process of moving this document to our Notion workspace and creating a more user-friendly checklist, which I will link back here when complete. This document will supercede the ‘Marketing blitz’ issue template here in Github.
Internal channels (FOK)
- Mailing list (general) (mention campaign in newsletter)
- Mailing list (campaign-specific) (provide text to share on social media)
- Github Issues (for discussing campaigns)
- Project board (for organising tasks)

- GoFundMe (for donations)
- Google group
Slack(pretty much defunct due to inactivity)Google doc(for discussing campaigns, now superceded by Github)

- Scott Aaronson (“…much of the serious content on the Internet remains sequestered behind pointless, artificial walls—walls that serve the interests of neither the readers nor the authors, but only of the wall-builders themselves. If I have a medical problem, why can’t I download the full text of clinical studies dealing with that problem? Why do so many researchers still not post their papers on their web pages—or if they do, then omit their early papers? When will we in academia get our act together enough to make the world’s scholarly output readable, for free, by anyone with a web browser?”
- Sir/Prof. Tim Gowers (argues, journals these days exist only to accommodate author prestige)
