I strongly agree with you Ginu.
 
There is a huge difference with the encyclopedia.
With wikipedia, we do not need all expertises at the same time, one area can be greatly improved for a couple of months, while another goes unnoticed for months.
 
Wikinews on the other hand, requires much more that people makes team, if only to try to cover a couple of areas.
Even if there are few editors and cannot cover all news, a team of 4-5 in scientific covering could make it very successful in a small areas.
 
This is doubly interesting in Wikinews as news are interesting only for a couple of days, not weeks, months or years as in the encyclopedia.
 
As long as a wikinews will be unable to cover all news topics, I think it should focus on providing good news in *one* area and get famous thanks to it.
