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

[clara]

hi,

i don't think that features are not the best way to inform indymedia 
activists about wiki. That should or could be much better done through 
lists or contacts. given how many people don't know about wiki or irc 
that's necessary anyway. (apparently some new-imc sponsors don't even 
find it necessary to tell a new collective about those tools)

i think wiki is a working resource, that's something different then a 
publishing medium. with all discussions about the publicity around 
ahimsa and in a lot of other case we have decided against linking 
directly to wiki pages. and just making facts is not really a nice way 
to go about other peoples' concerns.

love and solidarity
clara
