[Imc-alternatives] Using topics (Was: topic test)

[Danyl Strype]

Kia ora koutou

So far we have three suggested tags:
[tech]
[content]
[design]
Please try to put the appropriate one at the start of your subject line.

The list has quietened down a bit after that wave of introductions and  
brainstorming but once we trickle back from the silly season I'm  
hoping we'll get things cranking again. If it gets busy and people are  
remembering to use the tags we can use email filters to separate the  
email that pertains to our part in the project.

I've had some really great feedback about the potential of this  
project and it's great to have an opportunity to think strategically  
about where Indymedia is at with you all. I think all the components  
are there to make this site happen. Now we need to make some decisions  
about name, software and interface design. Let's do it!

Aloha
