I've got information that it is possible to make a project related to Wikinews. The main target will be sr.wn, but I want to make something from which would benefit all Wikinews editions, too.
My main target is making programs. And my main idea is making bots (completing Weather bot and making bots for harvesting different kinds of data...). However, it may be a MediaWiki extension, too.
I expect that I'll have a budget for a programmer for 3-10 months. (I'll do the best to have a programmer for 10 months.)
So, what are your opinions toward that? What would you like to have? Also, if you have an idea how to spend money in other ways, please let me know. (Keep in mind that it is not a lot of money, because I am counting on programmer's salaries in Serbia.)
Besides that, Brian, you are/were manager in software development group... I don't have a precise idea what can be made for, let's say, one programmer/month and what we may realistically expect for 3, 5 or 10 months of programming.
