>Hi IMCistas,
>
>Here's a working draft for the 'about us' page.......
>http://indymedia.us/en/static/about.shtml
>
>About Indymedia.us
>
>The Indymedia.us website has three primary componets:
>
>1) Indymedia.us is a portal site syndicating news from local Independent
>Media Centers (IMCs) in the United States
>
>2) Indymedia.us volunteers maintain an open publishing newswire to which
>anyone can post text, images, audio and video using the online publish
>form
>
>3) Indymedia.us volunteers promote articles into the center column
>
>
>Linking autonomous and participatory US-based IMCs, Indymedia.us is a
>network of solidarity between communities engaged in struggles for social,
>environmental and economic justice. Indymedia.us seeks to generate
>alternatives to the biases inherent in the corporate media controlled by
>profit, and to identify and create positive models for a sustainable and
>equitable society.
>
>Unlike a newspaper or other form of media, content published to the
>website goes directly to the top of the open publishing newswire without
>being approved or edited.
>
>The articles that are featured in the center column are taken from either
>the local features newswire or the open publishing newswire. Features may
>be 'compilations' which typically cover an event or issue that occurs
>simulataneously in different locations and are covered by several local
>IMCs.
