i'm wondering if you are talking to kellan about this.  syndication wizard that he is.  kellan at protest.net.

i also sent a response back to someone working on this in terms of the software that is going to be running the site.  i'm wondering if any of you are aware of the efforts of active2 and some of the design elements that were being considered.  i think the imc us website would be a great place to consider some of these because it really places more control in the hands of the user and elevates better content and is about accessing content more easily.  i'm not a techie per se at all, but i have been talking to techies about this for a few years.

just a clarifying question:

do you think that all the imcs in the u.s. all know that the site is now official and that they can join in at this next more 'real' stage of the game?  i am thinking the answer is no.  knowing how communication flows (and doesn't flow) in this network.  so perhaps a general invitation to this project would be good and then the next quick step would be to invite people to join the various working groups, including the editorial group.  

maybe you feel this invitation has already been extended to all imcs.  but hashing out an editorial policy is key and i think making sure all locals know that things are happening would be good.  these efforts could of course be happening simultaneously.  

love
