There's about four people on the mailing list. It has near-zero
traffic as we're still small enough for *all* discussion to be kept on
the wiki.

I have no idea who made that page - and certainly word of its
existence was never circulated.

I had a look at that the other day. The vast majority of the "votes"
there are from 2004. What's more noticeable though is that hardly any
of the users on that page actually are Wikinews contributors. To sum,
nothing on that page is relevant to the situation today.
