Norwegian Wikinews

I'm pleased to announce that the Norwegian Wikinews proposal has met the 
qualifying requirements for volunteers 
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Start_a_new_edition#Norwegian), 
has developed the necessary documents and templates (and then some! 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_language_pre-launch#Norwegian_.28fellesnorsk.29), 
and is now ready for the site to be created.

I will be asking the Developers to create the site at their convenience.

Hi,

As it stands now, you will need to provide a server on which a simple
perl script will run as a cron job. There is still no on-site way to
provide RSS (somebody correct me if I am wrong). I can adjust the
script for your needs.

It's not on the English server either, but a third party server. One
of the users allowed us to use his personal server for this. I'll talk
to him and see if we can extend the script, but I can't promise
anything.

That is a question you have to ask Google.

Google have agreed to include Wikinews when various people have requested
it, but I gather they then took it off the search again because they were
concerned about how it might change after they'd picked it up. I think
you'll find a discussion about it in the Watercooler archives (best to
search through Google!)

They're afraid of getting penis pictures on their frontpage. They'll 
include us if we give them a feed of stable versions that cannot have 
been vandalized at the time their spider picks them up.
