[www-editoriales] [www-features] PROPOSAL: Mulitlingual Indymedia

[toya]

hi clara,
i believe that the problem is deeper then you think..we also had in the past some problem with features maded up about places in the south that weren't actually the reality over there...and for that as well i believe we have the www-editoriales so ppl from the south can have a place to discuss and put up their proposals...
i believe that on our log from our meeting we talked about it...bout if a features is about, for example, argentina..it should pass here first before going up to the site...same way if us make a features about germany...we should send to features before it goes up....
i dont konw...but that are some details that we have to talk and figure out how to make them work...so that is why pina was refering when he said we dont know how we will be working etc...
oi clara,
eu acho q o problem eh mais profundo do q vc pensa..nos jah tivemos problemas no passado com editoriais q foram feitos sobre lugares no sul que nao refletiam a realidade do lugar...e por causa disso que o www-editoriales foi feito...para que as pessoas do sul possam discutir e colocar seus proprios editoriais...
eu acho q no log da nossa reuniao a gente fala sobre isso.. se um editorial for sobre, por exemplo, argentina..entao ele deve passar na lista editoriales antes de ir pro site...da mesma maneira se a gente criar um editorial sobre a alemanha..devemos passar o editorial na features antes de ir pro site...
nao sei... mas existem alguns detalhes que nos temos que sentar e conversar para resolver como que eles devem funcionar...entao, eu acho q era sobre isso que o pina se referia quando ele disse que nos nao sabemos ainda como vamos estar trabalhando etc...
ciao
toya
