I'd also point out that Wikimedia has vast publicity abilities in this direction. We're just very, very cautious in how and when we apply them, for obvious reasons (we love everybody and want to stay their friend, of course). And we're watching the progress of Theora and Dirac on a day-by-day basis, for obvious reasons. So if you need large charitable organisations to help you with making this the obvious publicity choice for a happy Internet with cute fluffy kitties, I can tell you we'll be right there! - d.
