History

MaltaToday was first published on Friday, 19 November 1999. It was edited by Saviour Balzan, and intended to provide an alternative to the English-language press in circulation, such as the Times of Malta and the Malta Independent.[1]

Initially published weekly on Fridays, the paper was then published on Sundays from 2001, with an additional Wednesday midweek paper being reintroduced in 2007.[2]

The style of paper is liberal and pro-European, and is independent of political parties.

The sister Maltese-language paper Illum was first published in 2006.[3]

In 2010, MaltaToday launched its internet news portal, and is the second most popular local news portal.[4]

The current editorial lineup includes Matthew Vella as Executive Editor, with Saviour Balzan as Managing Editor. The online editor is Kurt Sansone.[5]

gollark: > it seems like you're talking more about an API?Yes, I think the ability to do that might be more useful to (some) external services than having UI in Athens itself.> Dokuwiki does seem interesting thoughIt's a pretty good selfhosted wiki engine. It doesn't have knowledge-graph-y features because it was mostly made before that became a topic of interest, but does have... search, links, somewhat okay formatting, and many plugins. I currently run an instance because it seemed the best available stable thing when I was setting up things and it is quite hard to migrate now.
gollark: Sorry if I'm explaining this somewhat badly. I can probably clarify. I mean something like this (https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:struct) but without necessarily having to define a schema somewhere. I think this would be good for a few categories of thing, such as, say, exporting a list of cards (defined in notes) into a spaced repetition system. Possibly calendar events/reminders too, but you'd probably want a way to remove expired ones.
gollark: Regarding integration/plugins (I didn't see this being thought of here before or on github when I did a search, but my queries might have been bad): a nice/general way to integrate some types of external service without having to integrate per-service code could be to have a way to have blocks containing arbitrary machine-readable data (with a nice UI to edit it) and a type field, and an API to find all/all recent blocks with a given type.
gollark: It has fancy diagrams.
gollark: https://lhartikk.github.io is cool.
