Wow, and here I thought Wikinews wasn't a publisher, but just an ISP.
No, the Foundation is an ISP which provides the community, Wikinews,
with the resources by which it, acting individually but in group
spirit, publishes items. The individuals take responsibility for their
actions; the community has no real form and takes no particular
liability; and the Foundation has protections as an online provider of
hosting services (ISP is an oft-abused term) under the "Safe Harbor"
[sic] legislation, as I understand it. Brian's terminology is entirely
correct - the "we" refers to the group of people in the
(non-corporate) community.
Hope this helps clear things up for you, Anthony.
Yours,
