Thats a great idea. After Wikimania, make sure to upload it to
commons, as I want to see this thing :)

followed either with a talk, or a Q & A. The general idea is to have some
good presentation materials for use at any event where there is a WMF
presence. Having now read Michael's proposal on WN:WC I think the two things
tie together nicely – an opening video showing one of our best collaborative
efforts and a set of slides with talking points such as how Wikinews has
changed, how original reporting has increased, how we now get stuff listed
on Wikipedia articles, and so on.
If you think it'd be better with a voice-over we'd need a script drafted
and I'd nominate skenmy to record that, in his best BBC presenter voice. :P

is this going to be with a talk, or just to be stuck up somewhere running
on a
projector?

I've asked symode09 to apply his video skills to make a short film based
on
something I saw a while back that would fit nicely with that. The short
description would be a stop-motion of an article's development.
The article I'd like to see this done for is the Anonymous protests (a)
because it is OR and (b) because it involved massive global cooperation and
coordination. So, Deni, the deadline for that is a few weeks before
Wikimania '08. Earlier if possible so I can get original music for it
released under a CC-BY license.
If I recall correctly the article in question started in story prep, so
it'd
go from there, fake up the "do you want to create this page message?"
for the original title, then show the first revision. After that step
through each revision, where the article reaches a length that won't fit
on-screen you jump to where a change is being made and show the change being
added. As pictures get added, show the picture inserted and perhaps then
zoom it up for a second or so. When the video report gets inserted, run it.
Finish should be a pause on the last version (hopefully followed by
insertion of the Featured Article template – hint, hint). Then fade to the
Wikinews logo with space for credits.
For Michael's suggestion I'll go and have a look on the Water Cooler
shortly – still got about 30 emails to go through this morning.

Hi,
I've been wanting to submit something about Wikinews for Wikimania 2008,
maybe
under the header "Wikinews: citizen journalism at the crossroads".
I've posted something on the watercooler some time ago:
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler#Wikimania_2008 , with no
response. If anyone wants to team up and submit something, let me know.
