[Imc-communication] [IMC-Tech] proposal to imc-process

[ben]

Sorry to extend this thread unnecessarily, but wanted to confirm what
others had pointed out about stlimc.org.

I was on stlimc editorial collective, and it voted to disband several
months ago in lieu of regrouping and/or rethinking its mission to local
community.  That effort is visible at reboot.stlimc.org, and stlimc.org
for now has inactive feature column but very active newswire.
