[Imc-alternatives] IMC Alternatives code work: This Sunday, January 11

[Jay]

Hi imc-alternatives,

I just posted the below message on imc-cms and sent it someone who 
should be able to post it to imc-drupal-dev.  If you're on imc-tech 
could you post it there?

Everyone is invited to join John on Sunday to keep the code work flowing.

volunteers to work on our test site (http://domain23.info) this

Work will happen all over the world but communication will take place 
in the #imc-alternatives channel on the chat.indymedia.org.  There 
will be a check-in at 11am U.S. Eastern Time on Sunday morning the 11th.

A basic to do list:
-setting up organic groups
-tweaking drupal ui for content entry
-making lots of drupal panels
-basic steps towards crabgrass (we.riseup.net) rss integration for 
users and groups -
aggregate crabgrass content via rss
-css tweaking

any specific questions about this weekend's work or would like to 
check in before Sunday, e-mail John <john at manifestor.org>.

See you there!

Hello!

The Indymedia Alternatives project is a newly forming 
globally-organized topic-based IMC that intends to be a "next 
generation" IMC site, both in its content and its technical 
architecture.  The Alternatives IMC will focus on positive steps 
people are taking around the world to create viable alternatives to 
the current social, political and economic structures.  It intends to 
not only be a hub for information about these Alternatives, but a 
networking hub for the community of those who are actively building them.

The Alternatives IMC group is currently working on a basic Drupal 
test site that will enable us to start posting exciting and inspiring 
content.

Do you have Drupal skills?  Do you want to be part of this pretty 
darned cool project?  Please e-mail 
"<mailto:imc-alternatives at lists.indymedia.org>imc-alternatives at lists.indymedia.org" 
(cc "josh.marcus at gmail.com" and "john at manifestor.org") to check in.

Our test site is "http://domain23.info".  For an idea of how the real 
Alternatives site will look, page through the sketches at 
<http://thunderwhip.com/imc/>http://thunderwhip.com/imc/

A wikipage with basic information about the project can be found at 
"<http://www.openplans.org/projects/imc-alternatives>http://www.openplans.org/projects/imc-alternatives". 
If you have general questions about the Alternatives project, e-mail 
"<mailto:imc-alternatives at lists.indymedia.org>imc-alternatives at lists.indymedia.org" 
(cc "<mailto:jay at fundamentalchange.net>jay at fundamentalchange.net") 
for an overview.  The Alternatives IMC team communicates via the 
"<mailto:imc-alternatives at lists.indymedia.org>imc-alternatives at lists.indymedia.org" 
list.

See you on IRC!
