re: Djun; All good stuff, I will respond later, I have a few posts on this 
subject, as well as on OSCON, to send!

Christopher Lydon's Radio Open Source is doing hyperlocal journalism. It 
airs (and streams) in about 20 minutes. I usually hang around the office 
to listen and call, but I already made plans. I hadn't known what 
the show was about-- I just called up to find out and they told me.

My position, which some of you may share, is that a blog/wiki is 
insufficient for something so rich as community journalism, you really 
need a tool designed for that, and popularly used for it... ie., Drupal.

See if you can hear it live. 89.7FM here in the Boston area.

ps. this instant-notification brings to mind an idea I proposed, 
incidentally, one year ago this week:
