Previously in wikinews, there was a project - http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Broadcast . Its goal was to create a vdeo eddition of wikinews, similar to the audio edition. (Currently wikinews has the main website+daily print edition+weekly New Zealand print edition+audio) Unfortunately the main contributor to the video project (DV) left. The project then died. In total it made three videos - the trailer http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Wikinews11Apr2005_Demo.av... (in browser http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/commonsJOrbisPlayer.php?path=Wiki... ), The chili finger incidence part 1 - http://www.tiredbrain.com/wikinews/video/WikinewsSpecialReportCCDC.wmv , and the chili finger incidence part 2 http://www.tiredbrain.com/wikinews/video/WikinewsSpecialReportAyala.wmv (There was another attempt at bringing back video later, unfortunately it was accidentally deleted by commons for no reason, before file restore was implemented. All it really was though was words on a screen.)
Anyways we want to try and bring it back. Unfortunately we know very little about what we're doing, and don't have needed equipment. We were hoping that someone on this mailing list would be able to help us. Anyways if you're intreasted please say so on http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#wikinews_Video .
