[Imc-tech] Indymedia, sharing/syndication, and information exchange (fwd)

[Zachary C.Miller]

not sure if this got forwarded to IMC-tech or not. just trying to pass
on stuff that I might be sitting on but can not act on under the "New

Anyway someone from imc-tech should subscribe to the global imc-tech
list. I'd even maybe suggest that you add our local imc-tech _list_ as
a digested member of the global imc-tech list. Just a thought do what
you will.
