[Seattle-editorial] questions

Welcome, welcome.

We of course would love additional suggestions.

Even better (and more likely to become a feature promptly) is a short
paragraph or two that includes the links -- even if you don't know HTML,
it's only a tiny amount of work to correct the format if the intent is
clear.

Our general format is the following:

title
subtitle
picture
body text
additional links

if the body text is too long, it will clutter up the front page. Better to
link to a longer article (or even better -- to several) that readers can
follow up on.

Approval/editing is done collectively, on this list.

Hope you'll be able to participate -- we can definitely use more. I
have had a hard time finding time to promote features myself; Jonathan has
done almost all the features in the last eighteen months or so.

More participation is good -- JL can't do it all himself, after all.

PS the leading www in URLs is not required for web access, though most
sites use it by convention or allow the sites to point to the
same place (Indymedia is no exception). http://www.seattle.indymedia.org
is the same website as http://seattle.indymedia.org except that the latter
requires slightly less typing, which is probably why Jonathan used it.
