[New-imc] Re: moving on with aqua imc

[Bart]

Hey Everyone,

*** summary ***
We should have a discussion on issue/topic based imc's first.

*** mail ****
I personally think we should have a discussion about whether we want
issue/topic based imc's or not.
Around the climate imc there were a lot of debates and they mostly only got
approved because they were active before new-imc started.

Personally I like our model of local groups working around an imc in their
city/region/... I think having issue based imc's will take away focus on
those local imc's. Instead of having issue based imc's we could better work
out a topical syndication like we now do a feature-syndication on the global
newswire.

So I propose we activally discuss issue/topic based imc's on imc-process or
new-imc first before we move on with the aqua project.

Bart
