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 bawolff 2008-11-23T07:15:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.wikinews/1138 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 sect Brian McNeil 2008-11-20T08:13:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.wikinews/1137 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I've set up a facebook page for Wikinews... if you're on Facebook, show your support by becoming a fan!

Which is awesome, since now all articles should be listed on google news without us doing anything, which has been a goal of wikinews since long before i joined.

Cool! -bawolff bawolff 2008-10-17T06:47:15 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.wikinews/1125 Due to the problems with having the weekly quiz updated, I thought it might get updated more often if the quiz had simpler syntax (lower bar of entry to make a new quiz). Anyways, I made a template that allows people to use that lovely template syntax we all know and love and are used to, and hides away the features of <quiz> we don't use. Basically, you can make a quiz like this: {{quiz |Q1=First question |Q1A=first choice |Q1B=second choice ...and so on up to E |Q1ans=A [letter of correct answer] |Q1rel=See [[some article]] [the text printed beside question after its marked] ...and so on for Q2, Q3, all the way to a maximun of Q60... }} I think people are more used to this syntax due to almost everything else mediawiki uses it, the paramters give hints to what they do (thus are clearer), and it reduces features we don't use that could confuse people. Hope this is useful to someone, and any comments are appreciated. -bawolff bawolff 2008-10-17T06:30:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.wikinews/1123 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- FYI http://www.newschallenge.org Digital Innovators: Two Weeks Left to Grab Up to $5 Million October 15, 2008 - 1:09pm Knight News Challenge contest open to anyone anywhere.
