[Foundation-l] Wikinews

hi, am not well versed in arabic, really am Indian, so dont expect any
arabic version from me.

First of all we have to make the english edition running well,
meantime think about the languiage versions. So if people will
translate the english to german and vice versa thats more good and
regional news will become global.

As a global village make all the news for the global community. So i
prefer english first and i will think other languages...

My Specialisation is Media, Health and Business.....And Global Cinema
(Parallel Cinema)

Regards

George
