[IMC-US] Re: software

[max]

I didn't think that anyone was talking about developing new software in 
the short term.  us.indymedia.org is functional, running dadaIMC already. 
The tech stuff that needs to get involves syndication and design, not 
software development.

 Ryan's caveat is important, and again, I still haven't seen a response  
 from Acorn about this. I'm afraid I fail to see the benefit to us of  
 agreeing to this link for the rest of time if the software isn't 
available  
 to us to hack on, use, modify, develop, redistribute, etc.
