That is a route you do not want to go. The fr:wikinews is controversial, there has been a lot of agro about it being started in the first place. The Wikinews project as a whole is not beta anymore so consequently the French wikinews is not BETA either.
So when chinese wikinews opens, it won't be beta either, he... I for one favor the beta-per-language discrimination - because you can *never* know the level of activity.

A question on "beta" stage of Wikinews came to me.
Though Wikinews is a prospective project, it is still one of most controversial project among us, and hasty action woudn't be good for its development in my humble opinion.
I've understood it is (or has been, I am not sure for that) on its beta stage because of the board decision, not depending on its activity. The most recent board was held in the last week and there was no discussion if Wikinews switched from its beta stage to the stage in its real activity. And this decision was made for the Wikinews entirely, not to its each local project.
Now it seems to be suggested the judge of the end of beta stage depends only the activites of each local project, not related to the board decision. It seems to me a bit strange and adventurous. It is my wrong understanding or I miss some announce on Wikinews?
Same here. In doubt and until things are clarified, I added a Beta sign on the French Main Page.
Cheers,
Delphine
