OK just an idea .. but who is the audience?

imc-alt for instance doesn't say anything about what the site is to
someone not familiar with the indymedia lingo, which is fine really if
that's who it's intended for.

When you say 'alternatives.indy' what does that conjur? Solutions.indy?
I think that says a lot more .. Change.indy? does it mean a different
format site?

Maybe having a look at the audience and task the site is intended for,
and 'marketing' too that?
