Interesting Interesting. We talked of this many times, I'll be there watching to see how it goes.
Are there plans to implement all those fun tech toys we always wanted but never got?

Tempodivalse and some other folks have started a fork of Wikinews. Thought I'd forward since it may be of interest to some folks.
Personally I'm interested to see where this goes and if they have success. At the end of the day, the more free content material that exists in the world the better, regardless of where it is created.

Greetings everyone,
I thought the Wikimedia community should know that a large portion of
WIkinews' contributor base has forked into its own project ( http://theopenglobe.org) after becoming deeply dissatisfied with Wikinews. The new wiki has finished its creation stage and is about ready to publish news articles.
At least nine users have pledged to support this fork, and several others
(including non-WN Wikimedians) are interested - more than there are active remaining Wikinews contributors.
