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.
