[IMC-US] Re: software

[Sascha Meinrath]

Hi all,

I'm in favor of Garth's design proposal -- I think it would be useful to
have a point-person for design who's empowered to integrate feedback into
the site.

The current dummy site is:  http://us.michiganimc.org

Also, I believe we still need to get the www.indymedia.us domain
transferred over.
