Wikinews Video[edit]
Heya Cleefy!
I'm currently one of the major contibutors of wikinews video and am really interested in your input. I assume you're from the US? If so, could you please tell me which state - this is for future planning. You should [enlist] so, we know you are interested in the project, you said you might be able to write a program - which languages / programs do you know?
Just to give you a rough idea of where we are at, we have done the graphics and are ready to start production for the news. To start with, we will have a weekly segment, similar in format to 60 minutes (the TV show - not the length :P )
Some links which you might find useful include;
- General signup form - Here!
- Anchor/news reader form - Here!
- Video news discussion pageHere
- FAQ's
- See our blog? Here!
- Decisions made so far on Wikinews 2.0 are Here!
- We will have one or two in-depth stories. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Oh, by the way, we have lots of fun - don't be freaked out about the names (yap, enlist etc) - just fun! :)
thanx
