Wikinews experiments with alternative distribution
Wikinews, the news wing of the user-generated Wikimedia empire, has begun distributing its PDF version through Apple's iTunes. The PDF is derived from Wikinews' Print Edition which combines the day's top stories on a webpage that users can print at their leisure. Wikinews also offers an RSS feed which users can use to receive their daily PDF, but the popularity of iTunes could increase its reach.

A pdf version feels very definitive for wiki...
