Hi!

Thanks in advance to everyone who sent suggestions for the Knight Foundation
Grant proposal for an Indymedia Drupal prototype. You can view it here:

http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/ImcDrupalDev

"NEWSCHALLENGEPROPOSAL.v2.doc:"

I have tried my best to incorporate ideas, but I would love for people to
review it carefully and make sure it makes sense (particularly the last
section on expertise).

DEADLINE:
Please review changes for Wednesday, October 29.

MONEY:
I am asking for $200,000. Roughly calculating 6-10 developers working on it,
plus $50,000 for training and Tech support for IMCs that don't have Drupal
developers. Is that too much?! Too little?

TIMELINE:
Amount to finalize project: 1 year (considering our decentralization, I
think that's a good way to go). Comments?

Here are the IMCs that are in so far:

   * Boston Imc
   * Belgium Imc
   * Indybay Imc
   * UK Imc
   * St. Louis Imc
   * Columbus Imc
   * Scotland Imc
   * Arizona Imc
   * Bolivia Imc
   * Bolivia Imc
   * Germany Imc
   * Venezuela Imc

IMC-TECH?
Should we forward this email to the Imc-Tech list to see if there's anyone
else who wants to join?

best,
Sofia J.
Boston Imc
