[Imc-drupal-dev] [Fwd: Drupal 5.0 beta 1]

[data_monkey]

Hey all,

I also am interested in the drupal implementation for indymedia.  I know that the user base I work with is interested in how the editorial process works.   What editorial process does the columbus IMC use.   Does their drupal install allow for dissent on articles hiding/undhiding and moving to features.  Or is it a matter of setup with the promotion capabilities built into drupal.

Thanks,

Riley
