Aim

to create a way of creating the new front page proposed at: http://imcuk.isthisnottingham.co.uk/

Proposal Spec for creating front page.

Use this spec to ask techs to suggest how it could be done.

Idea is to create a script / CMS to create the new static html front page.

If drupal were used it would use Boost for creating a static page

Most of the content would be pulled in with RSS feeds from MIR, Bristol, Scotland, Video and London

Issues

Editorial Process would need to be established Ie :How would the selected photos work?

Repost feed / Other Posts do exist but the RSS isn't in the list of Feeds http://indymedia.org.uk/en/static/feeds.html

Install drupal module to pull in cities list.

If feeds are untrusted then they need to be moderated. This could be done as part of a separate system. A drupal aggregator site with moderation set up would seem to be suitable.
