Dear Sirs,
We represent News Search Engine RedTram (
http://www.redtram.com/)
and would
like to add
wikinews.org news leads to our news database in different
languages. Is it possible for us to get the right to broadcast
your news via
our news search engine with links to wikinews.org? Maybe it's
possible that
you provide us with RSS-feeds?
I think that there is no argument against broadcasting Wikinews
articles
via your news search engine. (Does anyone disagree?) Wikinews articles
are released under the terms of the CC-BY 2.5 license
(
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/).
There are several RSS-feeds:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/WikinewsLatestNews (English)
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~dapete/wikinews-rss/rss-de.php (German)
http://www.feedfire.com/site/rss.cgi?ChanContentId=009340 (Spanish)
http://tools.wikimedia.pl/~derbeth/wikinews.xml (Polish)
Could you please give us contact information of the person with
whom we can
discuss the question described above and also the person in charge of
technical issues?
Perhaps someone who feels responsible and able can answer to this
question.
Project info: RedTram has more than 320 000 visitors daily.
RedTram is a
multi-language site that delivers news in English, French, German,
Spanish,
Italian, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian. RedTram contains more then
1300
English news sources.
Regards, Stefan
