[imc-melbourne-work] Future of Melbourne Indymedia

[and]

One thing that will make this possibility easier is that it seems  
there is finally now some energy on the imc-cms list for developing a  
CMS that dozens of indy techs are working on. Getting the tech  
happening has been one of our major problems. This however is still  
probably at least 3-4 months away, if not 6 given how slow things  
move these days. It does however seem to be a positive development in  
indy tech land.

Also Takver re the archive I've hassled probably 5 techs to try and  
help us to put this up, obviously my mojo isn't working as I couldn't  
convince any of them over the last couple of years. AFAIK its  
actually only a few hour job. Perhaps its worth putting a call on the  
imc-oceania list and asking if anyone has time?

Cheers.
And.
