Migration Todo for Archive.stlimc.org

admin — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 21:40:15 +0000

Migrate stories to drupal (but no comments?):
https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/ImcDrupalMigrationDada

Alternatively, make a static copy of the dadaIMC site:
https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/DadaImcStaticCopy

Before making httrack archive:
~~- change logo image to say "ARCHIVE" prominently~~
~~- disable accounts module (i.e. no login box)~~ (this also disables listing of posts by a particular user, so don't disable module)
~~- turn off content submission (also the rating box?)~~
- remove /docs/ from robots.txt (why?)

STLIMC Principles of Unity

admin — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 02:46:00 +0000

"Principles of Unity" are an essential element of forming an Indymedia group, whether stated explicitly or indirectly.

STLIMC needs its own Principles of Unity, which will go on this page.

Examples...
Global Indymedia: (many others derived from this)

Doesn't appear to have explicit PoU's, but they are referenced in comments here:

How to get media on the page

video_nomad — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 22:45:03 +0000

In my opinion, the best way to explain how to upload video is like this. It really allows people to differentiate between the methodologies that they can choose from, rather than to impose upon upon them the need to know how to embed video within the html of their story, like the Bay Area site does.

Open Publishing Explained

admin — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 22:21:04 +0000

Open Publishing is the principle that members of the public should be permitted to express themselves freely whenever possible. The Newswire module employs this principle by default, allowing site visitors to post their own stories to the Newswire.

If you disagree with the content of a particular article that someone has posted on this site, you may comment on the article through the "Add New Comment" or "XX Comments" links at the bottom of each post.
