Möller has been involved with the Wikimedia Foundation projects including Wikipedia since 2001 both as an editor , as a developer of the MediaWiki software and of Wikinews . He drafted the initial project proposal for Wikinews ( using the username Eloquence ) , and also was instrumental in developing Wikimedia Commons . He first proposed the idea for Wikimedia Commons in March 2004 . Möller described a difference between Wikipedia and Wikinews to '' The New York Times '' by saying : " Wikinews articles are short-lived , so there is a reduced feeling of contributing to a knowledge base that will last a lifetime . " " We are the new media . We make our own rules , " explained Möller at a 2005 Citizen Reporters ' Forum in Seoul . He stated that '' Wikinews '' publishes a daily print edition and is working on other formats including an audio version of articles . Möller was interviewed by '' Journalism.co.uk '' on the eightfold increase in traffic to '' Wikinews '' on the day of the 7 July 2005 London bombings , and on the effects of free news . " While Wikinews is still much , much smaller than Wikipedia , the potential for news coverage goes far beyond what Wikipedia is currently doing , " said Möller . He gave periodic " State of the Wiki " reports at '' Wikinews '' , where he defended the project 's use of both original material and information synthesized from other media sources
