Great feature, y'all!!!  Huzzah!!!

A few technical corrections to make:

trying to post comments gets the following message:

"https://publish.indymedia.org/earth/servlet/OpenMir?do=opensession&sessiontype=comment&to_media=112664&language=en
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /earth/servlet/OpenMir.
Reason: Could not connect to remote machine: Connection refused
Apache/1.3.32 Server at barcelona.indymedia.org Port 443"

The following links in the story also need to be fixed:

"Relief Web Latest News" yields
"Error 404
HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - Entry not found in index"
Reliefweb's current URL is 
http://www.reliefweb.int/w/rwb.nsf/vLND/5F8A41AE2188E3A949256F76002F8861?OpenDocument&StartKey=South+Asia:+Earthquake+and+Tsunami+-+Dec+2004&ExpandView
but as it's top news right now, the "Latest News" URL will probably keep 
changing, so perhaps a more stable URL would just be:
http://www.reliefweb.int/w/rwb.nsf

The Barcelona Indymedia story linked to is NOT in spanish; it's in 
catalan, so the link should read,  "Barcelona IMC (ca)" _not_ "Barcelona 
IMC (es)".

The Atearoa IMC link does not work; some of their links that do work are 
as follows:
http://indymedia.org.nz/newswire/display/23839/index.php
http://indymedia.org.nz/newswire/display/23781/index.php
http://indymedia.org.nz/newswire/display/23805/index.php
http://indymedia.org.nz/newswire/display/23794/index.php
etc.

Just on a personal note,
I feel strongly that the original feature proposed by indymedia jakarta 
should have been posted almost immediately, or that the indonesian version 
at least be listed as the original, out of respect for local autonomy and 
in a spirit of moving away from english domination.  I understand the 
publishing software wasn't working, but I really think that 
english-speakers should bow out from time to time.

Failing that, I hope we have an indonesian translation of the global 
feature up soon.

Peace, all,
-SuZQ
