[IMC-US-Tech] Re: [IMC-US] Indymedia election plans

Excellent! One thing on this end though: i've never seen the site!   :O
Sad but true, Can someone post the url?  I tried old ones, but no luck.

I'd be glad to work on either the email or the pr when i return late this 
afternoon (EST). I'll check-in here  then to see if anyone else has already 
done that. Also, can you guys post a few bullet points on what needs to be 
said to use as a guideline?

d.o.
