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).

From the previous message:
- 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?
