Wikinews suffers sufficient gatekeepers that it doesn't attract a froth of contributors the way Wikipedia does. It could do with some statistical and experimental loving from the Foundation, if anyone feels up to putting a proposal together. But trying to channel volunteers in this manner strikes me as a way to kill motivation rather than channel it. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
