"Also sounds like, well, just about every single feature and the exact
structure of I could have hoped for in a new codebase for Indymedia
websites (or any independent media making platform). User created
stories with a tagsonomy based navigation, voting capabilities for
moderation and promotion, the integration of user accounts, the robust
network, the ease of tagging and browsing tags via simple URLs, local
news subdomains… everything in the direction of an organic news network
created and maintained by its users. Perfect."

well, here's why it's NOT an indymedia killer at all:

'Newsvine is a large-scale news media site which gives you almost all
the same stories you read on sites like MSNBC and CNN but presents them
in a much more attractive package.'

but hopefully it can point the way technologically to some features we
should work towards.

drupal has a lot of these features, why not move more imc's to drupal?
