Hi all!  from our discussion in January and Febuary in process and continued in print we did print the handbook materials as was proposed and amended.
For those who are new to process and print, this handbook is an attempt at producing a hardcopy of http://newimc.indymedia.org, of course including the updated text from the twiki pages. The idea is to provide a print version of what indymedia is-internal processes and how to be involved.
IMC-UC covered the cost of the first printing.

TRANSLATION AND DISTRIBUTION
Presently there is a discussion with UCIMC(IGAP) and Seattle IMC(GSF) on translation and more distribution.
Dri from imc-Brasil is trying to coordinate translation.
At the moment it seems Mike from schNEWS is also into  translation into spanish. Sherri is talking with 
Luz from imc-Chiapas she too may be into assisting with the  spanish translation. Dri will surely be taking charge of portuguese translation. 
We need more people to help with translation in other languages. We also need to discuss about how to handle distribution especially for those who are trying to organise imcs in areas without much online access. Again the place for this is imc-print at lists.indymedia.org

PROPOSALS FOR UPDATING THE FIRST EDITION
-1.)There have been a proposal to update the documentation to included the recent changes that came into place since the womyn proposal. Which includes changes on the application form. There was a discussion to have the womyn proposal be included in membership Criteria and or in Principles of unity. If there is any other place other than the link below where this proposal have been included in the  
network documentation please mail the link to imc-print.
-2.) There was also the proposal to include a small introduction/howto on twiki in future editions of the book.
-3.)There was the proposal to include what mainstream media say about indymedia in the next edition.
Please we are inviting people to take a while and look at the book as it is and to join the discussion on changes and improvements need in the next editions, in imc-print. 


DISCUSSIONS SINCE THE PRINTING OF THE FIRST EDITION
Some activists have complained that thought the book contains material from indymedia online resources put together as a printed version of the network online documentation IT IS NOT CORRECT TO HAVE WRITTEN ON THE BOOK
 PRINTED BY INDYMEDIA. The activists in question think that though there was a presentation to process and a discussion in print, it was all about the content. That this presentation did not make clear that it will be written on the book "published by indymedia" though the content is a print version of indymedia online text. The point was that it gives the book too much authority, that such a decision  needed to be arrived at from a network consensus.
The other side of the argument is that writing on the book that it was published by indymedia was to give credit for the book where it belongs-indymedia network, which have right to the content on http://newimc.indymedia.org.
Well I'll ask that you take time off and read atleast the introduction page of the book in the link below and give your opinion what you think on this issue preferable in process.
