[Foundation-l] TheWorldForum.org adds Wikinews logo

Thanks, Angela.

On my request, Drog has completely removed the logo box. I can suggest 
the following to him:

1) to restore the logo box in a location where there is no risk that it 
looks like Wikinews is an advertiser on theworldforum.org,

2) to change the text "In Association With" to something else, like:
	- "Using content from:"
	- "Some content provided by:"
	- "Some stories provided by:"
More suggestions would be appreciated.

In the long term, I think having a standard logo *with* a text like this 
would be useful for all Wikimedia projects -- then people can use e.g. a 
"Powered by Wikipedia" logo on a CD or printout without there being a 
misconception that it is a Wikimedia-approved endeavor. (Note that 
"Powered by" has the problem that it is frequently used for software.)

I also think there *should* be a process for establishing real 
partnerships that can be labeled as such, though I'm not sure whether 
TWF is a candidate for that or not (they're not explicitly free content).

In any case, I won't do anything more on this matter until Jimmy states 
his point of view.

All best,

Erik
