I entirely agree with you Jacques.
However, when you claim that neutrality is not a
universal concept, is purely an american concept,
should not influence the way of writing in a french
speaking website. And that lastly, the current NPOV
might even be illegal in France... Sorry, but I find
this a bit worrying.
While there are rules which should absolutely be
local, other principles should not. I am currently a
bit perplex.

hi,
Just this entry in order to present myself.
I am Jacques Divol, and i acting on the French (speaking) part of the
wikinews community as 'Divol' (yes it's my true name)
I have also entries into fr.wikipedia and commons but because of news
info needed.
It's seem that I AM A BIT ALONE
I am checking why French speaking people into fr.wikipedia are so
AGAINST fr.wikinews.
it's strange in my POV.
jacques Divol
(sorry my resume into fr.wikinews is just in french, normal ...! :)
i am 40
2 kids and a wife
15 years of Computer Scientist (Mastere Diploma in the new European
rules)

Hi all,
Registration for Wikimania, the first international Wikimedia conference
is now possible on http://wikimania.wikimedia.org
We'd like to invite all participants of the wikimedia projects to join
this big event in summer 2005.
Wikimania will take place from 4th to 8th august 2005 in Frankfurt am
Main, Germany. The event will combine Wikimedia community discussions
and software hacking with academic research, presentations of current
implementations, and user/community panels. Wiki fans, community
members, and developers are all invited to attend.
We are also encouraging presentation and content submissions for the
conference; for more information, see the call for papers
(http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_papers).
Please pass this message along to all Wikimedia projects, in english or
translating it (for coordination see
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/Wikimania/Announcement)
If you'd like to help or have ideas for the conference, don't hesitate
to contact us at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Feedback (or
just ask here on the mailing list).
Wikimania is an event from the community for the community - it will
live from your participation ;-)
greetings and hope to see you in summer,
elian,
for the Wikimania organisation team
