Hello, here Libertinus from Indy Uruguay and I can´t write perfect english.

Im share the point of view of Andres.

Im part of the network for more than 7 years and Im very sad and angry  
with all this bullshit. I write a personal letter to payment list and  
now I write new one in comunication because I need it.

I only see two cause: or we have the enemy inside making internal  
problem or that after the antiglobalization (anticapitalist) movement  
crisis enter new people to this network with a bad ideological bassment.

But looking the list of imc

belguim? They had lot of internal problem in this old node. And they  
spred in many collectives.
Bolivia? I sure most of them dont know anithing about it.
australia? what the fuck is this collective? I never listen to it.
linksunten? new collective with a strange relation with germany node.
uk imc? mmm, something sound to me wrong here. no? all the local  
network? mmm...
Urbana??? yes, always there. arrrgh!

"UNFRIENDLY INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES"??? ooohghh, that hurt!! but...
is the history of Latinamerica. always there making trobble and putting money.

CASTELLANO pa la buena gente.

Hola, Soy Libertinus de Indymedia Uruguay y no puedo escribir bien en ingles.

Comparto el punto de vista de Andres de Indy Canarias.

Soy parte la red desde hace ya 7 anios y estoy muy triste y enojado  
con toda esta mierda. Ya escribi una carta personal a la lista payment  
y ahora escribo otra aqui porque lo necesito.

Yo solo veo dos causas, o tenemos el enemigo dentro generando  
problemas internos o que luego de la crisis del movimiento  
anticapitalista (antiglobalizacion) ha entrado nuevas personas a esta  
red sin una base ideologica fuerte.

Pero mirando la lista de colectivos:

belgica? Ellos tuvieron muchos problemas internos y se han separado en  
varios colectivos.
Bolivia? Estoy seguro que muchos de sus miembros no tienen ni idea de  
todo esto.
australia? que carajo es este colectivo? desde cuando existe eso?  
nunca oi nada de ellos.
linksunten? nuevo colectivo con una relacion dificil con el nodo aleman
uk imc? mmm, algo me huele mal aqui, todo la red de uk? estan seguros? mmm...
Urbana??? Si!! siempre ellos por aqui!!

"Agencias de inteligencia nada amistosas"??? ooo, eso duele!! pero...
Esa es la historia de latinoamerica, siempre haciendo problemas y  
poniendo dinero.

>> hi!

>> For disclosure purposes, please be informed that in the past couple

>> (http://www.newschallenge.org/) to  build an Indymedia Drupal  
>> prototype for ALL Indymedias (which will  include, among other  
>> things, an Indymedia install profile)...  The  deadline is November

>> The idea developed originally from Belgium and Boston Imc and since  
>>  then has snowballed to include many other IMCs.

>> The goals so far on how exactly to use the money or manage it, if   
>> we get it, are a bit up in the air.  But there's a feeling of   
>> urgency that if we don't, this will take too long to get done, and   
>> Imcs continue to close down because of tech difficulties. Techs
