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

Sat May 10 10:30:45 PDT 2008

We can rank each suggestion, add more and rank them too, and people can
re-rank if they choose. I actually came up with one, though I mostly feel
that "alternatives should stay, which is "Ideaspace.indymedia." So,
everybody else, check out the page on the crabgrass group page for
imc-alt. It will help us reach this deadline with much less frustration
and greater transparency.
