[IMC-US-Tech] RE: [IMC-US] Launching questions

[Tribal Scribal]

Ana, we were going to go live after the irc meeting Wednesday night at 9 
est. There's a few detailsto work out and we'll need to address your points 
as well. The last version of the pr is here: 
<http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/ImcUsPR1>, but Sascha wanted to add 
some quotes like:

"The IMC-US has been organized by a dedicated group of Indymedia techies and 
volunteers over a two-year period to provide news reporting and analysis of 
topics of national impact.  Linking together on-the-ground reports from 
dozens of IMC's, the IMC-US is a venue for 'connecting the dots.' At a time 
of unprecented curtailing of our civil rights, increasing economic 
injustice, and a rhetoric of permanent war, the IMC-US is a critically 
important venue for the passionate tellings of truth."

maybe something shorter or broken-up would work better. in any case, can you 
make it Wednesday night?

d.o.
