[New-imc] Cancun

[Jay]

Hi everyone,

I think opening cancun.indymedia.org, on a strictly temporary basis, if 
only to redirect people to cancun.mediaoindependientes.org, sounds like a 
reasonable idea.  I also like Susanna's thought about using something like 
http://www.indymedia.org/wto as well, so people always know where to look 
when there's WTO-related stuff.

cheers,
Jay
