- Sufficient for what? The number is sufficient for the current level of progress. More developers means more progress. Its not a question of sufficiency, it depends on how fast of growth you want. Mr.Z-man 05:50, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
- More devs are needed. Better software = better Wiki{media,pedia} experience. I seem to recall Wikinews in particular is waiting on some feature requests that have yet to be addressed. --Cybercobra 20:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. Wikinews could make a great deal of use of developer time. A number of the local contributors have created tools to help spread the project's content; including RSS and Twitter feeds, auto-updating scripts for Facebook, and our own URL-shortening service enwn.net. The key requirement seems to be getting code review and appropriate tweaks to turn "nice toys" into MW extensions — there will be other uses for them outwith Wikinews.
- There are also a few other issues identified from Wikinews' use of Flagged Revisions. --Brian McNeil 11:12, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
