[Seattle-editorial] current feature and categorizing stories

[Gentry Lange]

Well my second choice then is SFACTIVE, Dada and MIR don't seem to have many
listed IMCs as examples.

Philly uses an entirely different codebase than, I think, any other IMC.
  It's home grown and based on the Slash code (Slashdot.org).  It's not
something that has/is been/being widely distributed and I've not heard
anyone even hinting at offereing support for the install, migration,
cusomization, maintainence, etc...  I would place this code at the
bottom of our list of options.  The other code bases offer plenty of
newswire improvements that will make us happy.  It still seems like a
tossup to me between MIR, Dada, or SFActive.  There's at least some
support available for all of them.  The first priority to me is finding
some local techies with enough skillz to maintain one of these new
codebases.
