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.
Cheers.

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.
