[IMC-US] mission statement not up and about us page clean up

[daniel scott]

sup',

1. mission statement upload
ana i think the mission statement looks good. if there are no 
objections can some one put it up. hopefully this can happen soon as 
new people coming to the site will want to know what its about.

2. about us page clean up
also the about us page still has a very long comment (subject get your 
act together) at the bottom. This is confusing to have in the about us 
section. If anything it should be linked off the page.

in the words of josh breitbart, Thanks to whomever does these tasks I'm 
asking for, if we
think they're good ideas.

Mission Statement

Indymedia is a grassroots network committed to using media production 
and
distribution as tools for promoting social and economic justice. It is
dedicated to addressing issues that profit-driven media often neglect 
and
hopes to empower people to "become the media" by providing democratic 
access
to available technologies and information.

The first Independent Media Center (IMC) was created in Nov. 1999 to 
cover
the WTO protests in Seattle. There are more than 165 autonomous IMCs 
around
the world.

Culling content from over 50 IMCs in the United States, www.indymedia.us
<http://www.indymedia.us/>  is a critical tool for making local issues
relevant to both a national and global audience and vice versa. While
participating IMCs are US based, Indymedia.us remains firmly committed 
to
the ideas of international solidarity and mutual aid integral to the
Indymedia network.

The US IMC website features original content from local Independent 
Media
Centers as well as content exclusive to the U.S. site. Features in the
center column are taken either directly from local US-based IMCs or the 
open
publishing newswire. Features may also be 'compilations' which typically
cover an event or issue occurring in different locations simultaneously 
and
are covered by several local IMCs. Articles in the right hand column are
syndicated directly from local IMC’s feature pages.
