[Imc-africa] Arrangement of material in Brochure

[sphinx]

Hello all ! we are one step on the way to the production of the brochure.
Dr.Blimfield who volunteered to do lay-out is through with first stage; that of
getting all the raw info together.
The next step is corrections and amendments.

I personally think the sizes of the letters is perfect.
I agree with Doc's proposal of taking most of the references out of the text of
D. Kidds and putting them like footnotes etc at the end of the book. 

It also seems to me, that lots of the text under the first part "introduction"
is very similar, one is left with the feeling of reading the same thing again
and again in different words. 
Thus I propose that the following go to the back of the book 
[-II)Imc Press Collection

-III)Global Indymedia Overview

Quoting "Dr. Blimfield" <herblooser at yahoo.co.uk>:

> Mr Sphinx
> 
> Here are some more pages for you to look at.
> 
> I guess it would be better if I put them up on the imc print pages.  Maybe
> I'll do that with the next version for people to check.
> 
> How does the size of it feel to you?
> 
> I have typeset it so that the text can be threaded into documents of any
> page size, so if you want some with bigger type, that's no problem.  In
> fact
> it would be easy to put large type pdf up as well.

> I have to do a little more work on this tonight and then you should be able
> to really start checking it for errors.

> Do you think someone might have this information in an easier form to use?
> 
> At the moment there's a lot of cut and paste to be done if the whole
> document is to go in.  I could maybe just put the easiest information up,
> and see how much you feel of the rest is neccessary.
> 
> We can always update the pdfs on the web later.

> ******
> A couple of things I should mention:
> 
> Dorothy Kidd's article has many references in the text.  I'd like to take
> most of the references out of the text itself and put the footnotes etc at
> the end of the book.  I reckon the front of the book needs to contain the
> really immediate stuff.
> 
> I have not included lireferences to links that did not work when I tried
> them.
> 
> I'll mail you the notes in a few minutes I hope.

> Cheers
