Hi,

Aff-comm has passed a resolution asking the WMF board to recognise The Wikinewsie Group.  It can be found at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Resolutions/The_Wikinewsie_Group .  This is a major milestone for the group.  Thank you so much to everyone in the community who assisted in making this possible. :) 

Sincerely,
Laura Hale
