[IMC-US] Re: [announce] Re: indyconference feature?

[evan]

Yes, but how are indymedia activists going to discover the wiki? We
have a huge number of people in indyemdia who don't know about teh
docs site and for that reason they stay outside of the loop.

Beyond that, we link already to the docs site on www.indymedia.org already. 

Transparency and democracy don't come from hiding links. Yes there
will be problems with trolls, but twiki is reasonably resistant to
that kind of thing, and we have a working group to help maintain the
docs site.

I think we should be linking directly to the pages about the indyconf.
