Have we ever had a useful call to the hotline? I doubt that it will ever
become handy.
And perhaps to replace the hotline we create a huge, updated list of contact
details on heaps of Wikinews. This could include cellphones to text or call
with tips, home phones, Skype account details, etc. How 'bout that?

Well, I want to start a larger conversation on the Hotline's
usefulness. As some of you know I am paying US$25 per month to
maintain it, and I don't really think that it's shown $25/month worth
of usefulness to us. While there is certainly a great potential for
such a hotline, I don't know if it makes sense for us to continue
investing our time (and attention) into something that's not really
shown itself to be a success.
My proposal would be to completely disable the hotline, due to low
use, unless someone can come up with a workable plan for encouraging
it's use.

That sounds like a good idea; any takers?

This sounds like a job for a wiki-brainstorm though :D
