> The code base that runs the Seattle IMC website is getting old.  It was

> hacked to within an inch of it's life.  It's come time to retire this
> venerable package and move on.  In the next few weeks a new, much more
> robust, secure, feature full and beautifully designed website will
> replace the current verion of our website.  It will include our entire
> archive of newswire posts and features dating back to November '99.

> The new code is known as MIR.  It's based on the Java programming 
> language.  Technical details and a list of features can be found <a href 
> = "http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/MiR">here</a>.  Anyone skilled 
> and interested in becoming involved in helping support the Seattle IMC 
> with website development, maintainence, design or money (new servers are 
> being donated but some new components are necessary) is encouraged to 
> contact the <a href = "mailto:seattle-editorial at indymedia.org">Seattle
