[Imc-alternatives] Name Game: May 16 deadline for new suggestions

[Mair]

Hia Everyone

Mair here from Wales, ive been writing in periodically but have been a
silent witness for a while with this site.
I joined it last year, after a Indy Media guy from England told me about it
and its intentions.

Rather than focusing on how terrible everything is, i was interested in
joining up with people who KNOW how things are but want to start
thinking about alternatives, real, practical alternatives to the current
(corporate led) systems that are failing us.

Im a comparative new comer to the site so can someone tell me just in a few
words what the AIM of the site is as i wasn't around when it was all put
together . That will help me think of possible names for the site and make
sure that im clear of the aims. Perhaps this information is on the site
somewhere but im not tecchie minded at all im afraid, so a link would be
great! (diolch/thank you)

Im really excited about this site going 'live'

Congratulations to everyone who'se been busy labouring away with all this.

Yours sincerely

Mair
North Wales
