I propose we get a new stylesheet for Wikinews. One with much bolder
colors, for a more newsie look. The one I propose is currently listed
as an alternate stylesheet under the name Datrio+MrM (as its based on
ideas by Datrio and MrM). If you have a browser capable of viewing
alternate stylesheets you can select it. (On firefox its View->Page
Style->Datrio+MrM)
I'm listing this both here and on the water cooler as I think its an
important issue deserving a lot of attention. I hope saying this in
two places doesn't sound too spammy.

I remember Dan100 used to maintain it, does he still maintain it, or
does someone else maintain it now?

I recently found out that besides wikinews.com, the site to keep track
of the wikirevolution sometime hopefully in the next 20 years, there
is also other sites that share are name, and are actually news-sites.
Is Wikinews a trademark of the wikimedia foundation? because if it is,
and other websites are using a similar name like that for news, don't
we loose the trademark or something like that (I really don't
understand trademark law, but that was the impression I got). Even if
that is not the case, I still find it concerning that other websites
are using similar names for news.
anyways, the sites are:
wikinewspaper.com basically a syndication site. domain registered on 2005-11-29
Wikinewsnetwork.com , thewikinews.org , thewikinews.com Basically a
very ugly conspiracy theory news site from what I can tell. Domain
registered 07-31-2005
All of these websites have alternate domains that have nothing to do
with wikinews.

CC is updating its licenses:

I don't see anything Earth-shattering. We may want to switch Wikinews
to CC-BY 3.0 once the update is complete.
