[Wikinews-l] Scandinavian Wikinews

Why not starting several languages, sv.wikinews,
fi.wikinews etc... but all of you focusing to set up a
portal page where you will together summarize the news

I think it would be similarly suitable one day, that
the swiss set up a portal page for swiss and put there
news from fr, de, it etc....

No ?
