[IMC-US] Re: [Imc-us-editorial] hold ups

[Tribal Scribal]

This sounds good to me. I'll be able to monitor the site from NYC during 
most evenings, but am not up to speed on what's needed and how to hide posts 
if needed (recall yours truly is a bit....er...tech challenged?;) I'm a 
content/news guy for the most part).  Perhaps i need an idiots guide to 
internal editing similar to what clara sent out when Global went to mir. 
BTW, i'm also pretty clueless when it comes to wiki.

d.o.
