Hello everyone! Glad to hear Wikinews is still up and running... I just wanted to let you guys know that I think Wikinews won't be able to survive unless the community becomes much less aggressive; less gung-ho, if you know what I mean ;-) If we can be more open to new ideas and genres, perhaps we would see more articles being written by more participants, which is what we all want. I know it will be difficult because we pretty much all have Type A personalities (a.k.a. we're journalists). Hopefully we can lose the self-administered hierarchy and foster a more diverse and toned-down community so Wikinews can flourish into its true potential.
I think Wikipedia had to go through something like this too.
