For someone who is a professor at "National Chengchi University", its interesting to note that their survey link is a url using an IP address (as opposed to a domain name), and port 8080. One would think that someone who is a professor at a university, would set up there survey on the domain name of their university using the standard http port. -bawolff 2008/11/27 Joanne <94356502< at >nccu.edu.tw>: _______________________________________________ Wikinews-l mailing list Wikinews-l< at >lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikinews-l

upload size limit upped

bawolff — 2008-11-23T07:15:35

I just read on commons-l, that the upload size limit got boosted from 20mb to 100mb. This is good news for us, as whenever we do video reporting, we've always had to use extreme compression/low resolution, or split it up into multiple clips. Now we should not need to do that anymore. yipee! (for reference: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2008-November/040296.html ) -bawolff

FW: Print edition

Brian McNeil — 2008-11-20T08:13:54

I'm forwarding this to the mailing list and hoping attachments aren't stripped. Assuming they aren't, this is the template for English Wikinews' Print Edition. Firstly, I'd like as many en.wn people as possible able to create a Print Ed. in case Craig has problems with it again. Second, I'm wondering if there is any interest in other language editions translating the template and running their own print edition. From my own experience, this is the most effective advertising/handout for meetups and conferences. I printed numerous copies at Wikimania this year and all got taken away. Use of the template requires OpenOffice, I managed quite happily to open it with version 2 (latest British English version) but version 3 of OO is out and it should happily work with that too. Filling it in should be fairly simple and obvious, just lots of cut and paste; just look at one of the existing versions on Commons to see what it should look like. For anyone setting up non-English version you may wish to strip out sections if your language's Wikipedia doesn't have current events, or there is no Quote Of The Day to use. If the attachment is stripped, please email me directly for a copy. The file is 264 KB so there should be no problems mailing it around.

I finally got some time to do one :). I expect to be able to continue to keep them up to date for now. I have attached the template for if you ever ant to do one. For the most part it is just lots of copying and pasting. You use yesterdays news and todays stuff for everything else. -Craig Brian McNeil wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikinews-l mailing list Wikinews-l< at >lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikinews-l

Re: Now we're really listed on google news :D

Brian McNeil — 2008-10-25T06:34:39

Moving along, I filled in a Yahoo! contact form again to see about getting listed in Yahoo! News. Interesting if you go to http://news.yahoo.com and search for Wikinews, you will see a load of our articles. Apparently, http://thailandnews.net has picked us up as a source for Thai news and lists links to our articles in their RSS feed. So, if Yahoo! runs off RSS, what's the address for our working feed? And - perhaps more importantly - how reliable is it?

Yup, I just checked by logging out - the URLs are working perfectly. No more funny renames required. Just need to get it changed from Wikinews, FL - I've asked for the FL bit to be dropped altogether but we may have to settle for it changing to CA.
