Hello
Hardly a new. But my contribution to the wikinews news
:-)
I will do a presentation of wikinews in 2 days.
Title is "Wikinews, le libre au service de
l'actualité".
I actually found it tough to prepare because I am not
a wikinewsie myself and had troubles finding much
recent information. A year ago, there was a
significant amount of information, such as the State
of the Wiki, and other similar good pages. I could not
really find equivalent with recent happenings.
Still, I wanted to give a special time to a project
not being wikipedia.
I already did the same for Wikiversity once ;-)
Well, just to mention that's pretty tough due to lack
of information avail on the site, and maybe lack of
reference presentations.

Hi,
About some 8 months ago I started with an attempt to
bring news with a
newsletter "Wikizine". I try to bring different
types of news like
"Foundation", "Community", "Media" , "Technical
news" and so.
So I bring the news for the Wikimedia family like
Wikinews is bringing
news to the world.
I am writing this fist of all to ask for your
cooperation with this
newsletter. To be able to report news first the news
must be known.
"The Water cooler" is one of the pages I look for to
find news about
Wikinews. But it can be that I do not notice
something. Or, more
likely, it is not there to find. And especially if
it is going on
other Wikinews language editions I will not find out
about it.
So I request that if there is news about your
project, especially for
the non-English editions, that you would report the
news to me, to
Wikizine. Let the readers of Wikizine know there is
more then
Wikipedia.
A way to make it more likely that someone will think
about Wikizine is
to put a banner on your userpage or even better on a
public page like
the "Water Cooler", also for the non-English
Wikinews versions.;

On the other side I try to get the news downhill to
as most of the
projects and especially languages as possible.
Because of piratical
reasons Wikizine can only be in English. But it
would be fantastic if
people would be willing to translate the news and
share it with there
community.
A total translation of Wikizine is great but also a
lot of work. Maybe
only translating the most relevant news can be
enough for starting.
You could work together across the different
projects in the same
languages. By cross-project cooperation the work of
translation can be
shared.
Just only subscribing to Wikizine only is also
useful of course. Then
you at least are informed.
Reading Wikizine can by email. Just click here below
and follow the
instructions;
mailto:request@wikizine.org?subject=subscribe
Or you can also read Wikizine from the website;

Thank you for reading this and I hope to receive
some news from Wikinews!
Greetings,
Walter
