[IMC-US] PROPOSED: Arafat on the verge of death

[bht]

i am also against having this a feature of us imc.  i think its place on
us imc would be in the syndicated feature wire should indybay feature it
on their local page.

this is a global story.  it belongs on the global page, i almost think it
would be good to highlight somewhere on the site other indy sites like us
imc.  there is global, of course, and there is also oceania syndication
site.

also, i am very concerned about the crossposting on indy sites, and i
especially worry about the relationship that us.indy will have with
indymedia.org

i dont know how many of you are familiar with the global process and such,
but global imc working group is a very small group of people that take
original submissions or compile features themselves and post them as
features.

i think the actual number of people that actively participate in global
features right now is 4 or 6.  And quite a few of the people on this list
and actively doing work on this site are people that used to be involved
with global features.  So the energy and momentum is switching, as it
should.

I kind of lost my track of thought, so I am going to stop rambling.  But,
I think my main point was that we should create a symbiotic relationship
with other indy sites, especially global.
