So, everyone interested in this idea should put their efforts into a failed project. No alternatives, because that would be harmful to a project people clearly aren't interested in developing.

If wikinews isn't able to get this idea working, why is everyone else required to keep supporting it. Maybe it's time for an alternative.

If it's not working, then it needs needs to figure out why people aren't engaged. Otherwise, the natural progression is for people to move on to an alternative.

Agreed.

But Wikinews isn't some just started website. It launched in 2004.

The idea that everyone needs to keep working on it until it's successful is becoming a joke.

It's been a decade. It hasn't worked.

People should feel free to develop an alternative. Wikinews has no right to a monopoly on an idea.

The beatings will continue until Wikinews makes something people want
