STLIMC Principles of Unity

"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.

Suggested topics for Tech Crew Mtg 8/07

- Content submission. Please read up on CCK module from Drupal. This lets you extend existing content submission forms with new fields, widgets, and add-ons. Also would like to work out elegant image attachment, and ultimately an upload dialog for large files.

How to get media on the page

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

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.
