[imc-scotland-discussion] making ths ite more lively?

[Anarcho Babe]

I do think that one problem with the site is that there is not much  
turnover of news, as we scaled down the features column.
It seems to me that it is very important to combat the stagnatic feel to  
the site without creating too much work for ourselves, therefore I do  
think rss feeds merged from different local campaign groups and  
initiatives with Indy going more portal would be a great opportunity,  
especiallz as most people dont regularily check other groups websites for  
updates.

It does seem though that we would need to have a computer session on this  
one to make proposals and stuff.

What about a more extended links section for a start?

I think that is my job - have got a password somewhere to the  
https://contact.indymedia.org database thingy, I think that also does the  
rss feeds for global newswire. Will as sb to help me.
