> As a result of the recent TechMeet meeting that happened last Sunday, it has been decided to revive the Imc-CMS discussion and to try and pick a CMS to focus indymedia developer attention to.
> 
> I volunteered to try and coordinate it with whoever else wants to help.
> 
> They are trying to have this info ready by December 1st.
> 
> The other teams are the IndyPlone and a lot of IMCistas trying to develop a code-base from scratch with CakePHP.
> 
> The goal:
> 
>  * work on an environment they assigment for and investigate it 
>  * collect the pros and cons
>  * perform some customizations (according to indymedia needs)
>  * present it to the rest in 1 month
> 
> 
> This is what we need to work on.

> http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/ImcBoston - has a section about 
> moving over from Dada to Drupal
> http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-cms/2007-January/0126-lq.html - 
> is a post about Dada-Drupal but most of the links are down and the IMC 
> is still on Dada from what I can tell. I e-mailed the author to see if 
> they had usable code.

> 
> Development will be coordinated via e-mail on imc-cms at lists.indymedia.org and #cms but I think that a repository for Drupal specific docs and analysis would be useful. I will also post this to the Indymedia group on http://groups.drupal.org.
> 
> The next step is setting up a meeting on IRC for everyone interested. 
> I'm on EST - in the US, and I know that Ekes is in CET in Europe and I 
> remember their being quite a few devs in Australia years ago when I was 
> trying to organize this.
