IN http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews this page
it is written

The internationality of the Wikimedia Foundation is one of our biggest 
strengths, and the Wikinews projects is building on this strength right 
from the start. Our first requirement is that Wikinews will be set up 
like Wikipedia, with a language domain for every Wikinews project:

     * [de.wikinews.org]
     * [en.wikinews.org]
     * fr.wikinews.org (not yet set up)

 >>> the page is not updated.

Which is precisely outdated.
Which is why I mentionned it.

IN short, in the list of people supporting the wikinews and willing to 
contribute seriously, there is ONE name, Greudin

Greudin is a very good guy, but alone I doubt he will do it all.

Sorry, this is *not* what I call sufficient support.
