[Wikinews-l] Around enWikinews - September '09

[Jon Davis]

I've been told at one point in time, we had a regularly scheduled newsletter
of the important goings on at Wikinews.  I can't find it in the list
archives, but no matter.  I figured it was about time to start/resurrect
it.  After all, we do important things around here and if you aren't on the
Wiki 24/7, you might miss something.  So here are the important highlights
from last month:


   - September 12th we had a banner day with 20 published articles in one
   day. [[Category:September 12, 2009]] - http://enwn.net/A029
