[Imc-g8-2005] [static page] G8: Why Are People Protesting?

[Andy T]

Top stuff on the page. Just to add the discussion, we did talk about an 
additional 'box' in the left nav at the indymedia convergence thing. A 'G8 
2005' thing with links to resources like this in it. So they don't get lost 
in the heat of the moment and all that.

It would be easy enough to do and I could put it up on the old dev site 
first. It'll be part of the events include file so anyone who can edit that 
can update it. I would suggest right at the top of the left column?

Rock on,
Andy
