[Italy-process] [en] traduzione: Comunicato riapertura

[st3]

"Morirai, e tutto sara' finito" [Lev Tolstoj, 1865]

La premiata ditta st3 e cpunkpunk propone la traduzione del comunicato di
riapertura.

Vi prego di _non_ spammarlo cosi' com'e', e' stato tradotto in fretta e
sono le 3am passate. Necessita di una revisione (ed eventualmente di
un'integrazione con le correzioni proposte successivamente alla prima
stesura a opera di maska e kri) che sarei ben felice di non fare io, ma che
nel caso faro' domani prima di procedere alla diffusione.


More than a year passed since the Italian IMCs got back to work with local
communities bringing into these environments the principles and methods
that shape the global Indymedia network.

The need to create a ground for everybody to become their own media,
through open publishing and privacy safeguarding, was felt by many as
something that had to continue and that couldn't stop along with the
Italy IMC shutdown.

Limits and practices concerning the mainstream media haven't changed during
these years, the power imbalance governing the communication process at
the very least didn't decrease.

Today, the issue with independent media isn't just about making a space
available where open publishing happens and different point of views can be
expressed, but it's more about safeguarding the charateristics of the
method ruling the Indymedia network and to gain on accessibility and
interactiveness of the immense amount of information available on the net,
because of the fast evolution that has been pacing the web during these
latest years.

That's why the newborn local Italian IMCs decided to create a nation-wide
project built around a feed aggregator, which isn't just a comprehensive
website, but as well a virtual place where to gather and reinforce the
struggles and the information streams coming from different locations,
that's composed of those different visions and media activism practices
that every geographical environment contributes.

This aggregator can potentially create a widespread community, as a result
of the collaboration between activist networks, community centres and
different communities involved in media activism, that consider
italy.indymedia.org as a conveyor of grassroots ways of telling the truth.
Right now, we still feel the need for a project able to jump over the yet
notable distinctivenesses characterizing the various local independent
coverage projects while presenting chances for production, elaboration and
spreading of the contents they contribute, following in any way an
horizontal fashion for managing communication.

The long-lasting process which redefined means and purposes of Indymedia
Italy has come to an end. Now, a new phase begins.

On July, 4, Indymedia Italy will be back online.

The IndYpendence day isn't just a date. It's a symbol.

In 1054 for the Chinese, that was the explosion of the Crab Nebula.
In 1865 for the English, that was the publishing of Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland.
In 1880 for the people from Pistoia, Italy, that was the birth of the
anarchist writer Leda Rafanelli.
For us, in 2008, it represents the return of a widespread and independent
information project.

July 4, IndYpendence day.
You make plans, we make history.
