Two comments. The first is about the recent crisis on Wikinews.
The main crisis as I see it in Wikinews is not the new features, but a group of 2-3 admins who are systematically targeting other individuals for harassment and expulsion for not towing the party line of what they decide is acceptable for the WN audience. Very unwiki and very unwelcome to new members with new ideas for the project.
