[Foundation-l] Wikinews story featured on news.google.com

[Erik Moeller]

Wikinews stories are copied regularly by a site called:

    http://www.theworldforum.org/

According to the operator of the site, Drog, his copy of this Wikinews 
story has been featured on the frontpage of news.google.com for "most of 
the day" and received over 2000 hits:

Note that Wikinews itself is not yet part of news.google.com due in part 
to the somewhat unpredictable nature of wikis. So we are only indexed 
indirectly through "snapshot" sites like theworldforum.org. Still, I 
think a Wikinews story being listed alongside articles from Reuters and 
the BBC is a major accomplishment. Kudos to everyone involved in writing 
the article.

All best,

Erik
