One question:
now Wikinews is under CC-BY 2.5 (not CC-BY-SA). How will its
compatibility to the other project licensing? Currently
incompatibility of GFDL and CC-BY is a sort of hazard according to
some people.

We're still waiting for the FDL 1.3. Since
there's been no resolution
within the timeframe we hoped for, we're going to re-allow the
creation of new Wikimedia wikis. To make sure that we can safely
transition to CC-BY-SA, we're going to dual-license them under
CC-BY-SA 3.0:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode
We may remove this dual-licensing clause later, depending on what the
community decides with regard to licensing of existing and new wikis
based on the options that the FDL 1.3 will provide. This
dual-licensing of new wikis is purely intended to make sure that we
have the _option_ to transition these wikis to CC-BY-SA 3.0 (or later)
if we choose to.
