[Imc-alternatives] checklist toward next step of site

[Jay]

Hi Alternatives,

Here's a checklist, off the top of my head, of things we need to do 
before starting to show off our beta site.  Please modify and add to this list.

TECH:
-- Overlay theme/design on current site

-- Open publishing: Assuming we're going to add the Knowledge and 
Networking parts of the site later, what else do we need at the 
immediate moment?  Do we need to add anything to make the open 
publishing wire functional or is the barebones wire working?  It 
seems to be working, though I haven't done a test. (are there spam 
catchers in place?)

-- Logins: A couple questions about logins: Are there currently login 
levels?  Are there aministrators and regular site visitors who can 
login?  When regular visitors login, what do they get?  Who has admin 
login access?  (side note: I had a really hard time reading the 
captcha letters on the "create an account" page and had to try 
several times before getting the right ones.)

-- Search?/List of categories: We shoud we add a search function 
and/or a way for people to access articles from each of the categories.

What else?

Thanks so much Robbt and Dave for getting this going.  Anyone out 
there with Drupal knowhow, NOW is your time to jump in.

CONTENT:
-- agree on editorial policy and how we'll discuss editorial 
decisions (an imc-alternatives-editorial e-mail list?)
-- solidify group of newswire checkers and editorial volunteers
-- agree on taxonomy
-- a starting feature or two (the alternative economics story Strypey 
proposed sounds like a perfect start)
-- content content content

Anything else?
Jay
