There's about four people on the mailing list. It has near-zero
traffic as we're still small enough for *all* discussion to be kept on
the wiki.
The wiki is only the english wiki. And for once, it would be nice that a
decision for a project is not done entirely by its english version.
Suggestion : please advertise this mailing list so that more editors
participate to it.
The page at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License says
arguments will be collected until August 17.
I have no idea who made that page - and certainly word of its
existence was never circulated.
Erik. One probably goes back from the time Wikinews concept was being
discussed. The second one is recent and an attempt to make a decision.
Since that was
10 days
ago, it seems overdue for a decision to be made, or at least for it to
be put on the agenda so more people are aware of it. An older
discussion is at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License_straw_poll
I had a look at that the other day. The vast majority of the "votes"
there are from 2004. What's more noticeable though is that hardly any
of the users on that page actually are Wikinews contributors. To sum,
nothing on that page is relevant to the situation today.

Best I can then suggest is that you organise such a vote and advertise
it in ALL languages wikinews. Are you ready to do this for us ?
It would be nice that the community makes a suggestion, which will be
approved or not by the board, in the way new projects are.
What do you think ?
