[Imc-drupal-dev] Alternatives code-a-thon update

[Jay]

Hi imc-drupal-dev,

Here is a quick update on the work accomplished at the 
imc-alternatives code-a-thon on Saturday.

A crowd of able and excellent people gathered on Irc for most of the 
day to get a great start on the Alternatives IMC's drupal test 
site.  In John's words in the IRC log, here are some things that were 
accomplished:

-- we set up a new drupal 6 site on josh's test server at domain23.info
-- we've started applying the styles nick developed, and are cranking 
through the requested feature list - already basic open posting is 
working, important imc-best-practices for ip anonymization are in 
place, a friendly wysiwyg interface is in place to add content as 
well as basic categories.
-- we're making progress on media uploads, transcoding, and in-browser playback
-- and are continuing to work on getting all the content types and 
the fancy layout up and running
-- also we are documenting what we do here:

I don't know if there is a specific plan for the next step or whether 
those who were involved will just keep working on things and 
communicate through the imc-alternatives list.  After the New Year 
we'll try to pin down a schedule.  I've also promised to find a 
moment after the new year to post some test content to see how things 
go.  Feel free to go to the domain23.info yourself and try out the 
SolutionsWire.

Happy Gregorian new year to everyone.
Jay
