[IMC-US] Re: software

[Garth Liebhaber]

I was confused on that point too.  how involved is the syndication aspect?  is it a matter of administrating which sites will be 
giving syndicated feeds?  Also, if we consensed to have only syndicated feeds and not an open wire, is there something 
special in implementing that?

as to design, we need design people, and of course tech peops to implement the design.  Perhaps our hurdles aren't as 
large as we thought?

Our process for designing Chicago has been for all to give their input to the design person and then she made some 
mock-ups for further critique.  It's worked really well, making most people happy.  Could I propose this as a next step to get 
us forward?

Could someone repost the address for our dummy site?  Here is the address for Max's banner mockup: http://
mail.care2.com/caremail/noframes/mailer/t_baseform.asp?whattodo=compose&Composer=Simple

what say all?

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.
