[IMC-Boston-Editorial] Re: [IMC-Boston-Tech] web page for Video group on BIMC web site

[Sofia JarrinT]

hi,
Moving along w/this project...  Would there be any
chance I could talk to the BIMC webbies (next Web
Mtg?) about how we could move along with this?  I
really haven't seen the new site, so I'm not sure how
we can apply the video/audio pages of it.  I really
appreciate Jonathan's comments below, and would love
to work around you guys and happy to hear any
suggestions. 
For maintenance purposes, I would like to keep it as
simple as possible:

1) short description of Incite Media, past shows, and
how to get involved
2) audio/video streaming posted by audio/video BIMC
groups (this would not replace newswire but it would
work in addition to... That is, longer projects,
previews of documentaries, recorded speakers, etc.)
3) links of other groups doing similar media (sounds
of dissent, etc.)

Ideally, we can unveil video/audio pages together with
the new BIMC site design.  It wouldn't be difficult, I
think, with Nicole's template.

peace,
Sofia
