[Imc-alternatives] What's in a Name?

[lancaster-imc at riseup.net]

Hey, I created an approval vote on Crabgrass. We should all go there and
contribute, then we can take all of the top ranked choices and input them
into a ranked voting list. The one that is at the top, after everyone
ranks, will be the group's choice. Visual, quick and simple solution to
this deadline.

> 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.
