[Payment-discuss] inform ourselves better before deciding something

[Libertinus]

hi all, sorry my silence, it's hot here, need the beach and beer!

This is a good start for this group, first step invite everybody but I  
have to say that this list will be in english, too hard for non  
english speakers. And please, tray to do not use "slang".

Second step can be make a "indymedia consulta", ask some question to  
each local collectives.

Then we the indymedia history and this we can get a global view of  
where we are stand up. no?

This can be great to start a real discussion about money issues and  
tray to really understand the point of view of the different part of  
this item.

Look for a unitarian point of view has non sence but I am very  
estusiastic in have this place to make all questions I have and tray  
to understand the others "cumpas".


For a indymedia where many indymedia fit??? ........
