I'm down with these ideas. If they can be implemented on the website then
great - it would defiantly make the whole process more democratic and that
can only be a good thing.
There has been work brewing behind the scenes on introducing a new layout
design ( joey??) using the San Fransisco IMC layout - which allows articles
to be grouped by topics and for articles to be rated.
Current live site: : http://bristol.indymedia.org/
Our active mirror (on buggy): http://bristolimc.dyndns.org/
Attempt at sf-active: http://bristoldev.dyndns.org/
Hopefully we'll know on Thursday how that it is progressing. On site
design though I'd like to keep it black - as its easier to read.
