I think that Wikinews is small enough that it may avoid Wikipedia mistakes. The biggest one is Wikipedia's communities separation to language projects. So, I suggest next policies:
- One body at the organizational level. For example, wikinewsie.org should be a matter of all Wikinewsians; accreditations should be Wikinews-wide, not en.wn only; if there are offices in other parts of the world, they should function as offices of any other news agency. - The same policies. From basic ones (like NPOV is) via different procedures to, ideally, one place for voting for project admins. - The same methods at the technical level. If we have some bot for currency exchange rates, it should work all over the projects, not only on one.
There are a lot of bad things which may be avoided if we are functioning as one community, not as separate, language based communities.
