[IMC-Video] video.indymedia.org

[lotu5]

I'm partly responsile for the hold-up. I had said I would setup plumi, 
but thanks to university beauracracy, we still haven't gotten the 
machine I was hoping to offer for hosting video.indy yet. Its months 
overdue.

But, I did setup plone on our existing machine, bang.calit2.net, which 
is the one the borderlands hacklab uses, and I was about to install 
plumi, but then the no borders camp happened and I was too busy to 
finish it. So, I can get back to work on that sandbox for testing which 
shoudl be ready in a week or so, hopefully.

Sorry again for the interminable waiting.
