[New-imc] Re: subscription to new-imc list

hoi

so dnc.indy would be an url for an event only, but not a permanent IMC?

I know that we had that discussion a couple of times now about urls for 
events like with cancun and ftaa and i think it's time that we find a 
solution for that soon.

Some people got together on new-project at indymedia.org, but somehow that 
didn't get of the ground, so I raise my general questions here

1) should the url reflect that an event is an recurring event, so that it 
the next group has the same chance for an appropriate name? like wto2003 or 
wto-cancun or so, with an option to link all wto-sites from a possible 
wto.indy

2) does it make sense to set up complete new sites every time? It means we 
have an good imc for a short while, but after that i suppose that the site 
either stops, or in a way turns into a topic site like ftaaimc.org might be 
doing now. Wouldn't it be better to find a way have an event covered by or 
in cooperation with a local imc if there already is one?
Only half jokingly: if we start setting up event imcs: is that like flying 
in some Indymedia experts that leave nothing behind at the local community 
after the event is over?

Some of us have been disussing these issues in trying to set up biotech as 
a topic imc, and in a way it is discouraging to see how these relevant 
questions seem to fall in a big black hole, while the actual site is easier 
set up half outside Indymedia like ftaa and biotech: committed to the idea 
of indymedia and putting it ideas into practise, but with little 
recognition, syndication etc by the "official" network.

However, this is by no means, meant to stop the people who want to cover 
the DNC.

love and solidarity
