Steve,
It's actually great to hear someone missing it (you weren't the only one
worried).
That's English Wikinews available again via RSS, Twitter, and Facebook.
Please consider making use of the social bookmarks available at the foot
of published articles; Wikinews has an advertising budget of, ...
er, ... zero dollars. We rely on readers to pick stories their friends
might find interesting and promote us via word of mouth.
Several of the other language editions of Wikinews also offer RSS feeds
- the first on that springs to mind is French Wikinews but, I believe,
some of the Eastern-European language versions also have feeds.

Hi, I do not know if anyone else has said but you news feed (RSS) is not working as it used to. You do not get the list of news items just the option to 'Open Wikinews'.
Thanks,
Steve

This is a last-chance to review the questions for Assistant Chief
Constable Drew Harris of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, head of
the INDECT ethics board.
I know there were concerns with the last article I did on INDECT, a
number of people felt it wasn't suitably NPOV. Please, there is a need
to have an introduction on this (5W+H on who Harris is and what INDECT
is). Please make suggestions on that's format and content; there may be
points I pull out of my currently private OR which people consider POV,
or possibly even illegally obtained.
----
What are the responsibilities of the Project INDECT ethics board?
* How does the ethics board reach decisions on what research to
proceed with?
* Who are the members of the Project INDECT ethics board, and who
selected them?
* What are the academic requirements of the ethics board?
* What progress has there been on the project in recent months?
* What are the kinds of situations where an alert or alarm might
be triggered? And who would set those kinds of parameters?
* Are you concerned that at least one European University has been
petitioned by their student association to refuse to cooperate
in any Project INDECT research?
* What are the measures you'll be using to determine the success
of the large-scale trial planned for the Euro 2012 football
tournament?
* How would you detect someone misusing access to INDECT data?
* If fully implemented in Northern Ireland, approximately how many
CCTV and speed cameras would be connected to the system?
* Would the records on email and web browsing habits that UK ISPs
are required to keep be included in the INDECT database?
* Would it be possible for private businesses to make website
activity or CCTV feeds available to INDECT?
* Would you support private companies watermarking, or otherwise
flagging, content to ease monitoring its reuse on the Internet?
* Which non-public databases from police and security services
would be added to INDECT to complement more public information?
* Would you expect implementation of INDECT to improve collection
of evidence leading to prosecutions?
* Would data normally requiring a warrant or court order be held
in INDECT? Would such be usable in a prosecution without an
equivalent legal process to deem such evidence admissible?
* Is the data collection required for INDECT not in violation of
the privacy clauses contained within the European Convention on
Human Rights?
* Would implementation of an EU-wide version of INDECT with
Europe-wide data sharing require UK parliamentary legislation?
* Would actively seeking to keep browsing habits private, using
tools such as The Onion Router (TOR) developed by the US Navy,
be reason to flag someone for further investigation?
