StefanBerlin writes "Wikileaks is fast becoming one of the most politically important platforms on the Web. In this interview Julian Assange, the spokesperson, talks about its current situation and about the financial and economic background of Wikileaks. He also talks about why they cancelled the planned auction of the emails of Hugo Chavez's former speechwriter in Venezuela, and about Wikileaks' plans for a subscription model that could possibly solve the site's financial problems once and for all."

Discussion system like slashdot. by lazy_nihilist · 2010-01-12 14:52 · Score: 4, Interesting

What wikileaks also needs is a good discussion system for each story/leak. That way the audience also can directly participate.
Why not Torrent large files? by jonwil · 2010-01-12 16:26 · Score: 4, Interesting

Why not make large (in terms of expected bandwidth use) files available through BitTorrent in order to take load off the Wikileaks servers?
