[Imc-alternatives] any thoughts about the site name?

[Amy L. Dalton]

i love the shorthand idea!! LOVE IT ! ! !

alter.indymedia.org
altern.indymedia.org
alter-imc.org
altern-imc.org

any of these -
YES!

whoever compiled the list of 14 languages, brilliant!

i think there is something deep here which has to do with... WELL ... 
alterity! otherness! and how we have to celebrate it and not run away 
from it. even the alters that are closest to us... like our brothers! 
the parts of ourselves that are confused and even destructive! we must 
engage all these!

has anyone besides me noticed that we in the indymedia network seem to 
have a problem with precisely this concept?

to me somehow using such a shorthand sums up the idea that this site 
could help indymedia itself move to another level -- though its 
"alter"ness -- as well as talking about the ways the world as a whole is 
trying to do the same.

if none of this makes sense, please forgive me. i am immersed in jungian 
psychology.

yours in alterity,

amy
