[Cc-webedit] [mediateam] Indymedia

[Richard Braude]

It leaves media team where our discussion in the last media team meeting
left us (relevant part copied and pasted below)
https://we.riseup.net/cc_media/minutes-20-june-2010

Yes the media team is about corporate press liason, simply because someone
needs to do it, and that's us.
If there were 30 people in the team, at least half of whom were up for doing
independent media, then we could be part of the same team.

Natalie and others are contacting media collectives, finding out who's
intending to come anyway, finding out where our gaps are etc, and I'm sure
there'll also be a call out at the Edin gathering. Even though

As for tech needs, yes they are irrelevant for corp press liason as we only
need two computers for that, and we've got that sorted.
We will surely need to sort a documentation team, but I think ths simple
thing is that it's not for the media list and team.
