Mike Peel has near-confirmed/agreed to do WikiVoices #51 (previously Not the Wikipedia Weekly). I'm there, Durova is ringmaster, and Jimmy Wales will also be in on it.
It's the 23rd, 8pm UK time, and via Skype, a Skypecast (funny name for a podcast) should be available shortly thereafter.
The idea is to see if a few Wikinews articles can be put together during the recording session. Up to around 15 additional call-ins can be supported provided people mute mics as appropriate to avoid a "wall of background noise".
It will also be another point to promote Wikinews' 2010 writing contest, which starts on January 25. Alas, so far we've not dug up any prizes - in a couple of previous competitions I've put up some cash - the idea of it being "paid editing" goes away when you're looking at about 10p/article.
Please complain bitterly, but *constructively*, about any of the neglected Wikinews landing or help pages; if you've a relative that relates you the news blow-by-blow, send them our way, and if you're a twit, send it out with the #wikiwednesday tag.
