Larry Sanger's attempted crowdsourced Wikinews, Infobitt, is dead - the name infobitt.net no longer resolves (though the domain is still registered).
It died sometime after June 23, the date of the last screenshot on the Wayback Machine; tweets concerning it suggest it was up until August or September. The last top news story was "New York Post interviews Frank Fiorina, a husband of soon to be First Women President - Carly Fiorina". http://web.archive.org/web/20160623233441/http://infobitt.com/
