hey gang,
     How's it all going?  Good as can be, I  hope.   Several things,  seems 
I fell of the listserve again and was wondering to be put back on.
    Second,  talked to a couple people out here in DeKalb land as well as 
seeing a few comments on the site about local coverage on the newswire.  I 
talked to Chris G. last week and we started talking about focusing center 
panel on local issues.  Someone in a comment had brought up the idea of 
splitting the column between local and other.  I think this would be an 
awesome idea that would really credit the site for local participation.  I 
counted the wire now and out of 25 postings only 5 are local.  I don't know 
what is involved in creating a second column, but I would offer that the 
"other " column could be accessed by a front page button and give front page 
space preference to the local site.   As to deciding what is local and not, 
my common sense sees it as very simple, but i admit it is a little harder to 
transfer it into such concrete black and white terms.  I'll spew out some of 
the things I thought.
    1.  events/content pertinant to Chicago/Northern Illinois/ Northwest 
Indiana etc.

     2. spill over coverage of big events in Madison or Milwaukee may make 
sense,  it would definitely make sense if posted by Chicagoan.
     3. posts  by Chicagoan back from a trip to the West Bank or National 
rally in DC makes total sense.
     4. editorials should have local relevancies.  A rant about the peace 
movement as a whole shouldn't be in local, but if it was about Chicago's 
movement, it should be.
     5.  If someone from Georgia has posted about coming down to SOA, that 
is pertinant to Chicagoland community.  In the same sense spillover from 
Milwaukee or Madison makes sense.  If someone from oakland posts about their 
weekly vigil, that is not.  I don't think very many people will fly to 
oakland for a small vigil.
     Of course this could easily be a big mess and a lot of editing will 
need to be done, but maybe not if done correctly, smartly.  I think though, 
of high importance to the project would be the benefits.  One of the most 
frustrating things for me was to post a photo essay to have it pushed off 
the wire four hours later by the likes of Bobby Israel or others with too 
much time on their hands.
    Take care y'all, see you .  Mr. Garth
