IlyaHaykinson has built an extension which allows for quick bulleted
lists of articles based on categories and last edits.
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1411
What it does is allow layouts which automatically update the latest
articles in a topic area. For example, a section on the main page could
include a list of articles which are categorized with [[Category:United
States]] and [[Category:Elections]] to get a list of the most recently
edited articles both the United States and Elections categories.
The Wikinews projects are all waiting for this enhancement to get
through whatever vetting process is required before implementation. What
can be done to facilitate this?
