Wikinews suffers sufficient gatekeepers that it

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.
My hope with this proposal was to encourage contributions to Wikinews.
I think one of the main reasons Wikinews has never been particularly
successful is because it is competing with Wikipedia's current events
coverage.
