Detailed Description[17:26] how would we go about getting that set up?
[17:26] pretty straightforward use of taxonomy and cck, Ana, I think
[17:26] i could see the news stuff as either basic drupal story or blog
posts.
[17:26] though in the interest of future changes, a cck type would also
work well.
[17:26] and then with the help of the views module, we could do the
aggregate and regional pages.
[17:27] FWIW, http://www.mwsocialforum.org, which refers to the Midwest
SF which already happened, is updating with MW regional news leading up
to the USSF.
[17:27] Also of itnerest is that their Spanish section is pretty sparse.
[17:28] Does someone want to take that on, or have a better sense
what fields would be needed?
[17:28] Refereing to the News Blogging
[17:29] as far as the news blogging goes, we should decide on using
blogs, stories, or cck (ana's field type's ? ), what are the general
requirements.
[17:29] I think even creating pages for that (instead of book
pages) would work, no?
[17:29] We have to define the region and then just the basics:
title, body, author, etc.
Initial Discussion Deadline

Riley and Jamie worked on news blogging.
We've enabled blogging using the blog module.
We've also committed the function alfredo gave us to svn so we can easily display x numbers of blog posts.
Next steps are to add it to a block on the live site.
