> I would like to add a bit to the section "how it works"
> http://indymedia.us/en/static/howitworks.shtml
> 
> currently there are three points a out how the site works, it doesnt offer
> anything about how changes are made to the site and how decision are made.
>  portland indymedia uses this clause:
> 
> All working groups recognize that the contribution of an individual's
> labor is a prerequisite for participation in the decision making process
> of a working group or at a portland indymedia general meeting. Individuals
> who are not committing tangible labor to a portland indymedia working
> group are encouraged to share their views but may not "block" a consensus.
> 
> I would like to add something quite similar to the indymedia.us working
> group, something like "indymedia.us working group ecognizes that the
> contribution of an individuals labor is a prerequisite for decisionmaking
> pertaining to the indymedia.us website.  Individuals not committing
> tangible labor, through site design, tech support, editorial work, etc.
> are encouraged to share their views, but may not prevent the indymedia.us
> site from moving in the direction that committed individuals agree upon."
> 
> that is wordy and it sounds bad, forgive my lack on conciseness in
> guidelines :-)
> 
> basically, as I stated in a previous mail, there are only a handful of
> folks that are committing tangible labor to the site, and really try to
> make it viable.  right now it is just another website tha tis muddled from
> lack of vision but looks really nice.
> 
> lets do something with it.  I am putting a deadline on this proposal for
> the 12 of January.  I dont know the best course to get people to really
> discuss what they want this site to be, but I want the folks that are
> doing alot of work on it (and admittedly, I am not one of them) to be able
> to make decisions without worry of all these silent email addys on the
> list.
> 
> the next mass usage of this site will probably be the inaugural.  have
> people thought about what role this site will play for that?

> so, i think i have exhausted my point.
