[imc-melbourne-work] Fw: [Imc-oceania] More detailed United IMC proposal

[and]

sounds like a very messy idea to me, why have an open publishing  
website covering oceania and have an nz or perth or sydney website?  
seems a tad redundant. People don't seem to even be able to get  
enough content to/manage the already existing sites, adding another  
one on top of it doesn't sound like a solution.

Merging all aus IMCs into 1 Aus Indymedia seems like a more solid  
idea to me.
And.
