[Ulla]

Hi Tom,

Well, originally I intended to have only one main feed, but then I realized 
that the quality of contributions and regularity would make more necessary...
I think UK features should maybe go into neighbouring imcs, but doesn't yet 
work out really.

One other disadvantage I found is that Other Press articles don't ask anymore 
for the  link to the original article. i do think that makes it harder to 
identify what is an original user contribution and what is a repost from a 
mainstream media source. (As is at the moment confusing with Makhno's feature 
proposals of CH's other press pieces?) I also miss the copyright/creative 
common license clarifications at the bottom of the articles.
If you could solve that problem in a technical way, that would be groovy.
