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.

Responsibilities:

This is survey of membership/participation policies adopted by various other IMCs. The opinions represented here belong to whichever IMC is cited, not STLIMC.

First off don't forget the national Indymedia volunteer page:
http://volunteer.indymedia.org/

chicago.indymedia.org

"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.

Examples...
Global Indymedia: (many others derived from this)

Portland IMC:

UC-IMC:
Doesn't appear to have explicit PoU's, but they are referenced in comments here:

IndyBay IMC:

This is a 8-10-07 draft, copied from OKIMC.org. This needs to be review, revised, etc etc etc.

The STLIMC web server retains logs of all activity on the website. Normally, these logs are used purely for the purpose of compiling statistics about site usage and are deleted after 7 days. In special cases, where persistent patterns of abuse are noticed, we may decide to use the logs to identify the source of the abuse. The information in these logs is not shared with any other body and is not used for any other purposes.
