Just a question, to reflect some possible misunderstanding.
According to the poll proposition, it seems that only wikinewsies are allowed to participate to the poll. Is that so ? I am not sure as it seems it would not be advertised on wikipedia mailing list if it was the case. But the poll is mentionning wikinewsies only.
Can you clarify this point ?
Thanks

The poll is open to anyone who has a Wikinews user page. When I advertised it on the Wikipedia mailing list, there was only one option to vote for (CC-BY-SA) and the vote had already begun. The page has undergone many changes since then, and the vote won't start until September 6, so there is still time to discuss who should be allowed to vote. Since the vote affects whether other Wikimedia projects will be compatible with Wikinews, I think it's only fair to let people from those projects express their opinions on the license.
