[Imc-tech] [IMC-Process] New Proposal for Global-IMC Policy and Design (fwd)

[Brian Hagy]

here's a proposal for a newer design for the global imc, which could as
well be used by any imc.  it does deal with the concern of how to sort
"imc news" from "non-imc reposts" from "announcements and such" from
"opinion" and so forth.  we might want to add a "local news" and make that
the default when the page loads for first time.

Subject: [IMC-Process] New Proposal for Global-IMC Policy and Design

Good Afternoon, Everyone,

     I have just completed a new version of my Global-IMC
reform proposal.  It incorporates a key suggestion from
Trembley, as well as the newest design specs form SF-IMC.
I think it looks much better than my December synthesis of
proposals.

     The new proposal also provides more detail regarding
publishing forms and editorial policy.  There is a lot more
information than in the last proposal, so be warned.

     From
http://gk41.home.mindspring.com/2.0/GK4-Proposal-2.htm you
can find the Proposal and the Explanation.

     I hope this package of proposals will lead to a day
when we can have a more-useful and more-informative
website, and a reduction in the number of headaches and
complaints.

     When discussing this, it might be useful to cite
particular sections of the propsal.  Everything is numbered
(on the Explanation page) for easy reference.  This would
also make it easier for us to agree on particular parts if
we don't like the whole thing.

ALSO...

     After my last proposal, Bonnie suggested we try it out
at a local IMC before implementing it on the Global site.
I think this federal experimentation approach may be worth
trying, but I'd like to hear what you all think.  (Since I
know some people at the Danbury IMC, I will try pitching it
to them.  Does anyone else have any local IMC's they would
like to recommend?)

     Should I also notify http://global.indymedia.org.au/
about this proposal?

     Thank you for considering my suggestions.  And please
accept my apologies for any duplications.

-- George King IV
