[Imc-africa] imc kenya website

[Grace Waita]

Anna et al:

Thanks for all those incredible offers of support. We would certainly need any kind of solidarity. Some of the techies who pledged to support the site fell by the way side and Oloo who used to do a lot of uploading of info is up to his neck with WSF coordination stuff.

Blicero really worked hard to help set up Indymedia Kenya two and a half years ago- kudos to you comrade.

We would like to note in passing that some of the comments coming from friends and comrades like Sphinx have bordered on the patronizing and authoritarian. Our understanding of Indymedia concept is a network of INDEPENDENT centres that work in harmony as well as autonomy. I was certainly taken aback when Oloo shared with me a message from Sphinx demanding imperiously why our site has not been updated for ages. Please folks, let us treat each other as comrades in the same fight working for the same broad goals rather than these unneccessarily divisive  dichotomies.

Some good news: maybe we will be able to bring some people for the suggested html workshops so that we can beef up our local presence on the ground.

On a different note: we were thrilled: John, Oloo and I to meet once again with Fabian that I had first encountered in Dakar in March 2004 and Andy who were all meeting for the first time. As I write these lines, John is at the airport picking someone else up. And he started early collecting the Ugandan friends.

if this is needed I can of course help with the site. I don't have much
experience yet with the sfactive software, but I'm sure it's something
that can be learned.

I would need a password, and I propose that the people who want to start
filling the centre column and/or generally feel responsible for the site
(IMC Kenya?!) should develop some basic editorial guidelines. I'd feel a
lot more comfortable if the basic frame for this came from Kenya, with
the Nairobi international IMC team adding to it?

I'd also like to share some ideas about multilinguality - first
question: which languages should we cover? I can do English and French,
but for the rest I won't be very helpful, I'm afraid.

By the way: How about some basic html workshop, feature/article writing
and the like? I'm no expert, but I have been doing this for years now
and can share what I know.

best
Anna
