If you make use of the London IMC region pages you might have seen the first signs of change coming to the site. So far this has been nothing more that adding a list of links to London specific campaigns, projects and spaces that might be of interest and have some kind of regular presence within reports on the indymedia newswire. Other changes are coming soon...
One of the changes agreed with be that in order to publish on the London indymedia newswire you will need to use the publish page from the London indymedia pages. The London wire suffers more than any other region with being spammed by reports that have nothing to do with the region and this generates a lot of admin work for volunteers who might be doing more constructive and interesting things such as writting their own reports or working on the vast To Do list for the site.
Among the list of things to do there are plans to revamp the look of the London site, not only cosmetic improvements to the colour scheme and style sheets etc but also fundemental changes to the way information is presented.
The front page will highlight promoted newswire items in the center column and the open newswire on the right will show not only a list of London posts but with be followed by a list of reports from the UK wire. We hope this will make the front page more dynamic as there are not many people creating London specific features normally so the page doesn't change very much.
Additionally we are trying to come up with ways to create a 'non-linear' front page which presents ongoing issues and topics in a more visiable way rather than just having the latest things at the top.
We'd love to hear your ideas and get your involvement so why not come to one of the London Indymedia meetings at LARC.
