I've been told at one point in time, we had a regularly scheduled newsletter of the important goings on at Wikinews. I can't find it in the list archives, but no matter. I figured it was about time to start/resurrect it. After all, we do important things around here and if you aren't on the Wiki 24/7, you might miss something. So here are the important highlights from last month:
- September 12th we had a banner day with 20 published articles in one day. [[Category:September 12, 2009]] - http://enwn.net/A029 - The RSS feed has been truncated to a more reasonable number - http://feeds.feedburner.com/WikinewsLatestNews - We started a page to help Wikipedians better integrated with Wikinews - [[Wikinews:For Wikipedians]] - http://enwn.net/197b - [[Wikinews:Make Lead]] has been integrated into Easy Peer Review by Bawolff - http://enwn.net/b05f - Bawolff also gave us not one but two different gadgets that integrate to Wiktionary [[WN:WiktLookup]] - http://enwn.net/F52b - As of September 16th, we're not being carried on Google News, due to a change in MediaWiki. Bug #20818 - http://enwn.net/246c - Some article statistics were made [[User:ShakataGaNai/Statistics Project]] - http://enwn.net/5967 - The [[Main Page]] is getting an overhaul, with the new design to show up in the next 24-48 hours - http://enwn.net/h - Policy proposed & passed to "Expire" Accredited Reports after 2 years. - http://enwn.net/6972 - All the Water Coolers are now being archived (by month) automatically. - New Administrators: 1, New Editors: 5

In the interest of fairness, only one of thoose gadgets are mine. The other one is the original version stolen from the french wikinewsies. Cheers. -- - Brian Caution: The mass of this product contains the energy equivalent of 85 million tons of TNT per net ounce of weight.

I just saw http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Wikinews_Bulletin mentioned on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Internal_news_media, is that what you were talking about?
