Hi,
I am Saki, a Wikipedian much active on English Wikipedia and now sign-up
for Wikinews. I've got a chance to interview in person of Asian Project
Coordinator Creative Commons for Wikinews. I have begin preparing
questionnaires so it would be great if Wikinews community could suggest me
some questions for my interview, which is scheduled on May 20th in Tokyo,
Japan.
What theme and topics should I put to have a good use of this interview?
She will leave for Korea in the begening of next month to attend CC Asia
Conference so we could ask about this conference in the interview.
I'll look forward to have suggestions of Wikinews community. Please do not
ignore!
Thank you.
Saki

A heads up, some bright spark has suggested [1] merging Wikinews into
Wikipedia. This came up on IRC and I've alerted the French Wikinews
community on their IRC channel.
