Migration Todo for Archive.stlimc.org
Migrate stories to drupal (but no comments?):
https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/ImcDrupalMigrationDada
Alternatively, make a static copy of the dadaIMC site:
https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/DadaImcStaticCopy
Before making httrack archive:
- change logo image to say "ARCHIVE" prominently
- disable accounts module (i.e. no login box) (this also disables listing of posts by a particular user, so don't disable module)
- turn off content submission (also the rating box?)
- remove /docs/ from robots.txt (why?)

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.

- 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 Write a News Story
A Crash Course for Grassroots Reporters
By Chris Geovanis, adapted from a formula created by Diana Squillace

What key elements does a reporter — whether you're a "professional" or
a grassroots volunteer — need to know to write a news story? The
following crash course is designed to give you a snapshot of the basic
elements in a news story, how to put it together — and how to "be the
media."
