[Seattle-editorial] Proposal, Launch New Site without converting old site until later

[Gentry Lange]

We've talked about this at the past few meetings.

Does anyone have objections to starting a new site, and simply linking to
the old site? Then converting the old site as we move forward and have more
volunteers/time?

>One note I went to a friends and we looked at the Seattle site and it
looked awful -- none of the graphics came up!  I was showing him how to post
to the newswire and the link for publishing didn't show up!  I just had to
point "well it should be there."  It did link to the publishing site.  So we
badly need to update the site and ensure that it's not too high end but
assessible to all computers.

this and the talk about editorial accountability via the website
editorial interface (ie: logging) are yet more motivation for a code
change.  Please see this message I sent a couple weeks ago with info
about the available codes:

I have to disagree that the editorial policy has not been working.  It's
been very effective for nearly three years now.  In fact it may have
been the most functional aspect of any IMC working group since the WTO.
The policy isn't the problem in this case, though I would not stand in
the way of policy changes if they are deemed necessary.  If newswire
articles that need hiding haven't been being hidden then that is the
fault of the editors.  I think that the discussion over the last two
days has affirmed that accountability is vital and that the email list
is at this time the best way to maintain it.

solidarity,
Jason
