I thought of another brilliant sister project idea: Wiki + news = Wikews.

The point of this project is to have the news on a wide variety of subjects, unbiased and in detail.


There is Indymedia.

I see no reason why not to do this. Competition doesn't hurt, and Indymedia isn't a wiki style project. user:zanimum

--- There should be requirements for authorship for anyone writing 'news' that we 'publish'. For instance someone writing on economics should probably have read all of the w:list of economics articles. And someone writing on a sensitive topic about the Middle East should probably at least know what the w:list of Islamic terms in Arabic all mean. We can do this with a test!

Hard to do this fairly, but eventually the board can do it, letting us off the hook.
