[Imc-web] An opportunity for the UCIMC web site?

[Jason Pitzl-Waters]

Since the demise of the CUCV, there is going to be a huge local gap in arts 
coverage. Perhaps the UCIMC could use this time to become a source of 
information and interaction with the arts communities in this town.

What if we set up a sub-domain on ucimc.org like

"arts.ucimc.org"

Set it up with an open-publishing system like on the front page, make a new 
header, put together some local link collections and then publicize it all 
of the local theatre, gallery, improv, music venues, writers, etc etc to 
use this as a place to get the word out about their events and activities.

We can then promote this page to as many people as possible.

There could be many benefits to doing this, and I'm sure there will be 
plenty of people willing to help maintain a site such as this.

If it is successful this could become a model for all the other IMCs.

What does everyone think? Is this doable? Would this be something the UCIMC 
would want to do?
