[Imc-oxford] cool rounded corners :-)

[Eileen Cameron-Kirby]

I'm all for cool rounded corners etc etc.
However could I ask people to remember that a major aim of the website is 
OUTREACH.
There are probably only a couple of dozen people who use Indymedia currently 
who have even heard of open source. Who is Indymedia for? Geeks only?
I realize this question of the aims of the website/Indymedia is a recurrent 
one. I hope we'll one day sort out whether we're aiming for a technological 
elite/activist ghetto-type audience or giving Oxfordshire people more 
generally the opportunity to  create a news facility that'll make up for the 
faults and deficits of the mainstream media, and have an empowering effect 
on them in the process. I know which I want to see..
Meanwhile, needless to say, many thanks to Vincent for his hard work.
Cheers
Eileen
