How about using an automatic syndication site, such as
http://www.indymedia.org/wto , as was used in evian during the last g8 ?
That way, you can use the new dispatch system,
http://dispatch.indymedia.it and if visiting mediactivists are posting to
their home IMCs, you can compile them all on one site and sort by
language.

It also appears to discourage posters, but that's another story...
