Why is it so difficult to locate developing policy on Wikinews? Should there be a page, similar to Wikipedia, such as [[Wikinews:Policies and guidelines]] which contains links to most of the current policy, including the policy-making areas? The water cooler, as it is currently laid out, is nearly useless for contributors not familiar with the ongoing discussions (and patient enough to wade through the 85+ sections). I have registered the IRC channel #enrc.wikinews, and am asking the developers to put an RC bot in it similar to the one being used by de.wikinews.org. This will allow people to use IRC to monitor the latest changes on en.wikinews as they are committed. Currently the main page is extremely long, and poorly maintained due to its size. Breaking it up into several smaller templates (or templates of templates), and maintaining only a very small footprint for sections, seems to be the only way to lose the cobweb look. The developing stories section... frankly I don't see articles there receiving much attention with the current page traffic. Is this the best place/method to gain participation? Should the main page get a make-over? I'll stop here and see the response... Amgine
