Slashdot comment on Wikinews
I'm kind of new here on Wikinews in that i have been watching the site carefully for a while but haven't contributed much yet. In any case I just wanted to alert people that I wrote a comment on Slashdot promoting Wikinews. If anyone reading this has moderation points they could mod my post up ;) Maybe we should be thinking about setting up a community like Spread Firefox to promote Wikinews and Wikipedia?

 * Jacoplane, there's an old saying that goes something like, "all publicity is good publicity, as long as they spell the name correctly". &mdash; DV 06:29, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

1,500 Wikinewsies and counting...
According to Special:Statistics, we passed 1,500 registered users this weekend. -- Davodd | Talk 09:00, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Main Page design
I'd like to highlight the on-going discussion on the design of the Main (front) Page, and invite comments from interested users. Dan100 (Talk) 16:07, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Ugly box on every page
Can we get rid of it? I understand that we have to have the fundraising drive text, and I guess the design contest text too, but we don't need the feedback/chat line. It all takes up value page source and distracts from Wikinew's content. Plus the box is ugly! Dan100 (Talk) 14:10, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
