Is the wiki aspect a significant part of Wikinews? I would not have
thought so. There are many tools you could use to collaboratively
write news.

Is the "citizen journalism" part an important part? -there are many
colleagues there.
Is the free/libre part an important part? IIRC this was a strong
argument when Wikinews began, that many people offer limited
free/gratis news, but no one free/libre news.
Is the 'neutral' part an important part? I would guess so.

cheers,
Brianna
