IMPROVING INDYMEDIA
Here we go...
THE THINGS THAT SUCK about indymedia
1. the Software : needs threaded discussion with several layers of different branches so that conversation can have direction and tangents
I beleive the number one thing is to add discussion Forums ,
many other websites on the web have with wonderful discussion forums whereby easy - to - follow and subject oriented discussions are taking place and have been for years whereby indymedia has this posting system whereby one must scroll through 70 comments which is in fact comments and trying to be a discussion with it usually dwindling down to a debate between a small group of people simply because reading through and catching up on a 70 comment post becomes
difficult and time consuming therefore new people
feel discouraged and do not post and then subsequently fail to return to the site.
I beleive wholeheartedly that indymedia needs to introduce threaded discussion forum and quite possibly chat rooms , buddy lists ,etc so that all of is in the activism can communicate at a higher level.
sincerely,
the messenger
