And this leads to my third and more important point. Accreditating people will transform the Foundation from being a publisher to becoming an editor... which means that we will now be liable for any content written on the website by anyone else.
Are you sure that the Foundation is ready to become liable for anything written on Wikinews ?
If yes, I think this would be a major change of the Foundation policy.
Let me be clear. The foundation *would not* be accrediting anybody. Period. All the foundation would do is give permission for those people who have gone through a *community run* and accreditation process to use the Wikinews name and logo on press badges.
