Four? There are 236 people on that mailing list.
Really? They're not saying much though, are they? The August archive:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikinews-l/2005-August/thread.html#298
About a third of mails are people trying to unsubscribe. That says a lot!
It has near-zero
traffic as we're still small enough for *all* discussion to be kept on
the wiki.
On which wiki?
You know exactly which one I mean.
If you mean meta, then it was there too
(<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License>). If you mean the
English Wikinews, then I disagree. This was an issue affecting the
Spanish, Serbian, and Romanian editions of Wikinews. Where other than
meta or the mailing list were you expecting a discussion about those?
I have no idea who made that page - and certainly
word of its
existence was never circulated.
It was circulated on the mailing list. 11 different people replied to
it. 236 Wikinewsies could have read it and circulated it to their own
communities.
Erm, according to the page history that page was created on August 10
2005. You can read the August mailing list archive yourself - the link
is above. As you can see, it was never mentioned. And only eight
people replied to the discussion that did take place - and one of
those was asking to unsubscribe!
Which is the reason a completely new page was made at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License
Which as we've just established, was never advertised, so is in the
chocolate teapot category.
Your own comment about it - "why another page of this?" - says it all.
