[Imc-alternatives] alternativesimc.org should be working soon

[Josh Marcus]

Hey folks!

Sorry I can't be more involved right now, although I'll be available to help
after early November (the election).

I set up a drupal test site in the style of philadelphia.indymedia.org (so
it has some of the desired features y'all are talking about) back in July or
so, but unfortunately the domain name is no longer valid.  But I could give
someone a full database dump, or a tar of all the files ... or if someone
wants to point a domain at 216.158.28.85, I could re-enable the site with
the new domain name (subdomain of alternativesimc)?

--j

However, I do have a drupal data dump
