Nice one for this email Shiar. Unfortunately I have no time at all at 
the moment to properly respond/ take part in current discussions, 
although I feel quite strongly about some of it and I've been pretty 
perplexed by what some people have been saying. Anyway, I would just 
like to say that I have, on two occasions, spoke to a guy here in Notts 
who is very good on CSS and HTML stuff and would be happy to work on a 
redesign of our startpage, as previously discussed on various lists 
including imc-uk-useability: 
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-useability/

Current design: https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/ImcUkStartpageChanges

One of his previous projects was a site for Eastside Climate Action 
group: http://www.eastsideclimateaction.org.uk/

Anyhow, just wanted to let people know about this, and if all are happy, 
we'll start working on it after the Climate Camp, so early September.

Cheers, Wietse
