When added to wikinews, I'd imagine we'd want the following tmplates:

{{ready}} and {{fork}} (although we'd probably want to make something similiar to {{VOA}})

We'd probably want them in some category ([[category:Imported from Beta]] - could be done through template though).

• We may take their longer news (between one and three during working

days) for en.wn, see rss feed [1]. (This will go into the separate thread.)

• Actually, they offered to us the whole bulletin in English with one

day of delay, too. (This will go into the separate thread.)

1. Please, look at RSS feed [1] and tell me how do you want to parse it.

Texts are not short and have a specific structure. I suppose that the process should be:

1. Putting news as is, without "published" category.
2. Fix the news and add "published" category.

However, note that I need (a lot of) help for the second phase. I'll check news from time to time, but the program will check for new news hourly...

I'll make a new bot account ("Millbot-Beta") for adding news. I'll implement a similar method like on Serbian Wikinews [2] (with a page which would be used for debugging messages). This account shouldn't have a bot flag.

I'll organize "debug" page in such way that anyone who is willing to take care about this would be able to get RSS/Atom feed from the history page.

2. Please, tell me what do you think: do we need or not Beta's bulletin

with one day of delay?
