I tend to think for media research, small scale "Focus group" stuff works 
the best. Ie getting 10-20 people in a room and observing how people 
interact with the site(s), what they want to use it for, what they like 
and what they dont. Too often our deliberations on indy sites seem more 
around technical issues like cacheing and security while we ignore 
useability and social issues surrounding them.

I still would love to build an "experimental" indy site for testing out 
outlandish and ambitious ideas for indymedias to see what floats and what 
doest.

But yeah, I certainly agree we shouldnt restrict our self to ((i))  "branded"
indy issues.
