[UCIMC-Tech] Re: [Imc-web] facebook "share" option for articles

[Mike Lehman]

Chris,
Web is editorial/policy for the most part. There have been efforts over 
the years to encourage content creation, but that tends to ebb and flow 
with the events of the day. The open publishing tradition somewhat works 
against "official" content creation, but I certainly think it could help 
set a tone of material that would encourage wide reporting by others. 
The tragic events of recent weeks have brought out this aspect of the 
IMC's work again. I think there has been some great, even courageous 
reporting done under difficult circumstances.

Web meetings have been on an "as needed" basis, essentially since the 
beginning. I see that things have been moving along on the Tech front, 
which offers the possibility for new complexity that those with 
editorial privileges may need to adjust to, so we may be nearing time 
for another Web meeting. I suspect that Tech will always tend to meet 
more often than Web will, however, but I can envision that a joint 
meeting to roll out new goodies might be a good idea in the not too 
distant future.
