Spamming the mail list with NOT unsubscribe you, but it will piss off a bunch of other folks.

RE: [Wikinews-l]
Todo list/Wikinews Future Talk 3
I am against use of IRC to set Wikinews policy.
These sessions are always attended by the same small group
of people -
whereas the majority of WN contributors cannot make it to the chats for various reasons.
There is no valid argument as to why each and every issue raised cannot be handled in the wiki way - via talk pages. It may
be slower,
but it provides an adequate way for ALL interested parties to participate regardless of time zone.

Hello, I think a third future talk is a great idea. I do however have a few issues with this proposal.
The date appears to be randomly chosen. IRC and any other real time methods will exclude people based upon timezones and available times. All of the other future talks times have been chosen by creating a page with a list of possible times, and having people indicate what dates/times they are available. The date/time with the most people available is then used. If they are unable to make the listed times, they are encouraged to list what times they would be able to make.
My second issue with this is the inclusion of the WNN proposal in the items to discus. This proposal has been discussed many times, and the results are always the same, people arguing with nothing accomplished. The WNN proposal if it is to survive, needs either to be ignored until the project can support it, or for the previous discussions to be acted upon.
My third issue with it is Nick moderating it, no past future talk has been moderated, and I do not think it should be especially by some one with such strong opinions on many
of the topics

Eloquence, Ed Brown and I came up with a starter list for
work that we
feel should be accomplished on Wikinews. This list
follows and is
freely available for editing at http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Todo_list .
- Resolve Portal namespace and Portal design issues
(encourage local
reporting). 2. Resolve Google News indexing issues
(Stable version
flagging). 3. Revise decision-making process (Voting policy). 4. Main Page (what belongs, what doesn't belong). 5. Work on modifying WNN proposal to appease community's
requests.
- Encourage more Investigative reporting.
- User-friendliness (we currently have high standards,
possible "This
just in" raw news box). 8. Expand editor base (Contact college journalism departments, etc.).
These will be the set topics for Wikinews Future Talk 3,
which I plan
on moderating on Saturday, August 20, at 21:00 UTC.
