[dissent-tech] Correction to Int Networking Working Group e-list subscription address

[revolting]

Hi. Also at the moment the address to email to join the international networking group e-list (the UK-based one) is currently advertised on the website as being:
 
dissent_int_network at yahoogroups.co.uk
 
when actually it should be
 
dissent_int_network-subscribe at yahoogroups.co.uk

Would be great if that could get changed too.
 
Cheers.

This all sounds great to me - i just noticed though that the sections
under internationals which are currrently defined by language have more
than one text in them - anyway i'm happy to try and put up as you suggest
- defined by the text they translate. Please note the translated texts
will still show up in the lastest news bit on the front page though - but
i think this is a good thing. Does anyone mind if i get on with this?

The only thing though is that the 'internationals' label can't really be
too much longer or the menu list gets messed up- any other suggestions for
a short label -maybe just translations? Also as far as updating the web
each group should have a web person with at least basic skills for
updating otherwise you need to e-mail the tech list. there did seem to be
problems with the list but i think its all o.k now - well i'll chase this
up.

all the best T
