A call out to all interested parties for the IMC St. Louis "Virtual Barnraising" of the website http://reboot.stlimc.org/

Suggested location: Mokabee's at Grand @ Arsenal in South City
Date: Saturday 8/11, 2-6pm
Bring: wifi laptop and/or suggestions on layout and interface

Attached is rough schematic PDF of proposed page layout, to help guide/inform/inspire folks interested in participating in the barn-raising.

Tasks:
- Build-out, tweak-out the Drupal site at reboot.stlimc.org
- Set up framework at reboot.stlimc.org for editorial, co-ops process.
- Setup or fine-tine publish page
- Fine-tune preferred columnar format
- And plenty more...

Tech Miscellany (for those curious):
- Folks are encouraged to sign up for basic user account now at
reboot.stlimc.org
- reboot.stlimc.org will be hosted on a *faster* server by 8/11. I've
been busy working out the new box's firewall, mail config, and related odds & sods.
- New box: Dual 900MHz CPU, 1.2GB RAM (up to 2GB), Debian Sarge OS, Apache 2.2, PHP5
- Limited video hosting is possible on the box now. Need to scope out
other options if/when we need to scale up.
