[Imc-london] frontpage changes proposal

[planet-mail at aktivix.org]

Yep agree videos should go into main wire. and agree would be nicer to  
have longer main wire.

re featured other media (assume this is movement media) - i did like  
that wire on its own, and feel it could still be promoted a lot more  
as a feature of the site.

there's a problem with directly including it in main wire though, and  
that's that there's content regarding stuff outside london in it  
(national and international).

re promoted other media, it's not all necesarily 'mainstream media'  
news, there's stuff from youtube, pilger, guy, demotix, blogs etc etc  
so another label would have to be found if 'other media' or 'elsewhere  
on the web' doesn't work for ppl.

sad to lose ukworld stuff but hey ho.

>> Hi all,
>>
>> We have had some feedback in the last little while about the amount of
>> wires on our frontpage. So here is a proposal:
>>
>>
>> *newswire column* (middle right)
>>
>> * Include following content in the frontpage newswire:
>>
>> ** videos, promoted and featured
>> ** other media, featured
>>
>> * change the title from promoted newswire to plain "news"
>>
>> * take out UK and world feed and have a longer newswire instead
>>
>>
>> *main column* (left)
>>
>> * move the UK cities list in the footer
>>
>> * Re-name the promoted other media to "what the mainstream says" (or
>> something like that)
>>
>> (Movement's media goes away as it is now included in the main news wire)
>>
>>
>>
>> Besides including the other content types, I think I can try and do some
>> of the other things, if people think it's a good idea, I'll have a look
>> at it.
>>
>>
>> Let me know what you think,
>> cheers,
>> mara
>>
>>
>> p.s. I think we could do much more with the frontpage, but I've limited
>> the ideas to things that are actually achievable without too much work.
>> At least i hope that that's the case for the newswire thing.
