Abstract (please use no less than 300 words to describe your proposal): Unlike Wikipedia and other projects, Wikinews has very specific dynamics: if there is no constant flow of news, it is not useful, readers are not coming and it is not possible to transform readers into editors/journalists. This paper discusses a couple of approaches for transformation Wikinews into the attractive source of information. Some of the approaches are already implemented into Wikinews in Serbian, some of them are not.

Track (People and Community/Knowledge and Collaboration/Infrastructure): Community, Collaboration and Infrastructure
