[Imc-wales] [Fwd: [Imc-uk-features] startpage special proposal: Your local Indymedia needs you!]

[Genny]

Wietse has drafted this "startpage special" which will go on the indymedia uk front page.
Thought people might like to have a look - it's pasted below or follow Wietse's link.

The really, really good news is that I now have more information about the templates and how we 
might edit one to make our own front page.  I thought it was written in some weird computer language 
(non-techie prejudice here! :o)), but it turns out that the bit we need to concern ourselves with is 
in html with a css style sheet, which shouldn't be difficult to alter to get the page looking how we 
want it to look.  If anyone wants to have a go at editing this page so that we have some visual 
ideas to consider at the meeting (just rough drafts - please don't spend hours and hours on it in 
case the meeting decides on something completely different!), let me know and I'll forward you a 
copy of the template.

Cheers

Genny


Hiya,

I'd like to propose the following article as a startpage special for the
UK startpage:

I'm not too sure about the title, so if anyone has any ideas, that'll be
great.

Cheers, Wietse

title: Your local Indymedia needs you!

abstract:

Local Indymedia groups (IMC's) exist all over the UK. Some have extisted
longer than others and some are more active than others, but they all
have one thing in common: they need your help. If you're interested in
working on independent media on a local level, or if you have technical
skills, why not become involved? Help organise film screenings, benefit
events, or report on local issues, compile features and do admin work on
the websites. There is a lot to be done!

Another intersting development is the setting up of a new Indymedia
collective in Wales. The collective will have its first meeting on
Saturday 3rd February and anyone interested is invited. The meeting
starts at 1pm at The Vic (previously Victoria Youth Centre), Hill Street
in Wrexham. Idea's include the setting up of bi-lingual website to cover
news related to Wales. Other collectives that are meeting up in the near
future are:
