We meant what is stated there: that Wikimedia project content should be at a minimum both free and educational in nature. (In general, you can assume that language in resolutions like this is intentional). However, you can also safely assume that the Board did not specifically discuss the scope of Wikinews when writing this resolution; we were focused on the topic at hand. I personally think there is a very valid argument to be made that Wikinews, like most news sources and like the rest of our projects, is educational (as well as possessing other qualities, such as the more general quality of being informative, which also arguably applies to all of our projects).
Thanks for clarification. According to the last sentence, I would say that everything is fine for now, at least.
