Drupal Modules used on STLIMC

Below is a list of the Drupal modules used on new the STLIMC website.

How the new STLIMC Website Was Built

How the new STLIMC site was built using Drupal (drupal.org). The first in what will likely be many drafts...

"Sections" on STLIMC
The "sections" vocabulary on reboot.stlimc.org has the following terms:
newswire
feature

Defining the newswire and feature spaces as taxonomy terms allows the site to use the same content-types (and thus the same content submission forms) for both. This greatly simplifies upgrades (e.g. adding capability to upload images in batch), since the upgrades need only be performed on a single content type to affect both newswire and features.

Notes from IMC Meeting 11-11-07

CAPCR sidebar/section on IMC?
- CAPCR will soon be reintroducing local control bill, need an online resource
- Ongoing question about how to offer IMC as a resource w/o simply giving out soapboxes
- How to preserve journalistic profile, and editorial identity?
- Should CAPCR get it's own entire site hosted on CAMP webserver, or embedded sidebar?
- confluence, which has its own website, would get link, not embedded sidebar

- Related: contact Lionel Nixon of UAPO to ask if they could use a website similar to what we could offer CAPCR.

Feature "Wilderness for Missouri" story?

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