Thanks... it seems to be a decision relating to publishing, and there 
are a limited number of choices, not to mention the sad lack of time, 
which has happened largely because I believe indymedia was working to 
avoid this situation for as long as possible.

The current software is called Active, but there are no persons at 
indymedia willing to continue its support.

The options are Mir, SF-Active and Dada. The Mumbai group already 
uses Dada, but it is currently very silent, and we do not have any 
contacts responding from amongst the moderators or list managers.

The feedback we have got from other indymedia people is that Mir is 
the most workable of all these choices, given that one day we hope we 
will have a truly representational and flourishing media site, 
supporting multiple languages and multiple sub-entities.

If there are any opinions to the contrary, please let us know asap so 
we can discuss it out with our friends at indymedia. I have 
separately been recommended another publishing software, Plone. 
However, we simply do not have the freedom to consider this choice. 
Maybe one day when we can have our own servers, we can evaluate what 
direction we want to take on this, but for the moment, this is what 
we have.
