[IMC-US] Re: [Imc-us-editorial] Yead End Compilation of Stories?

[john duda]

i think this is a great idea.
to make this a little easier on us, i've gone ahead and done some sql voodoo
to dump the 2005 imc-us features and promoted local features to a wiki page.

https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/ImcUsWorkPad2005WrapUp

These include titles and links, the idea being that we can splice,
slice, and edit this page into a feature, or we could pull copy urls
from it easily.  or something. i just figured this would be easier
than paging through the archives...
