One percent of nothing... is still nothing. :-P
That being said, I've not been paying attention, but I presume we're
expecting a (hopefully) decently fair usage jump for this? A few
thoughts:
* We really should set a site notice to dedicate a page (or at least a
topic on The Cooler), providing an advance warning for everything.
There are a few slackers out there who we haven't whipped into shape
and got them signed up for Wikinews-l yet.
Yes.
There will also be a need for a decent post-mortem. I think on enWN
everyone with Editor/Admin should review the full Skypecast. It will
shed light on areas where it is difficult for people to quickly get
involved. I know the Newsroom could do with more makeover (I put in a
header; quick, dirty, but need to push an "urgency"); and, at least one
of the other links from the main page's masthead is dull-as-ditchwater
offputting - coma-inducing material.
The writing contest is already showing a nice number of signups, and I
do intend to mention it. I really, really hope by time of recording
there's some firm prize commitments to spice it up a bit. For that, I
would really like to see frWN in GNews, and the competition. THEN I can
ask Josh at GNews if they're interested, bilingual entrants can get a
few extra points for doing in both languages, and - hopefully - google
translate could get feedback on improving their translation engine.
