Has anyone been thinking about how Wikinews could cooperate with the Independent Media Center (IMC) project (http://www.indymedia.org)?
I think that the culture clash would be substantial. Virtually all of their text content is completely unusable due to strong POV.
I certainly would like us to cooperate wherever reasonably possible. Indymedia explicitly does not want to follow a neutral point of view, and that is good -- otherwise they'd be competing with us and we'd have to destroy them ;-). They can take Wikinews content and develop it from a lefty POV, if they want. I for one would be interested in some of their video and picture material. It's perfectly legitimate for Wikinews to cover the same protests Indymedia does, for example, but from an NPOV.
I'll be talking to some of the Indymedia folks in the coming weeks WRT license compatibility. They have already expressed some interest.
