Columbus Indymedia needs tech help

Hello fellow central Ohio drupal people. We are working on improving the Columbus Indymedia site which uses Drupal.
Indymedia is a global network of independent journalists that work together to provide people with access to the tools of the media.

The site we have set-up is using Drupal but there is some migration that could be done in terms of altering the workflow of items.
We hold to a standard of open publishing which allows anyone to post news but a lot of times its just people posting news articles from mainstream newspapers and we'd like to
have a way to be more of an almanac so that people can contribute facts/links and pieces to build stories vs. just writing articles and uploading images. The taxonomy and categorization of the site could use some help.
If anyone is interested in helping out with this community media project we have an open structure that utilizes consensus. You can find out more at the site and sign up for one or both of our mailing lists.
If anyone wants to just act as a technical advisor and lurk on the imctech list that would be appreciated just so I have more tech minds scrutinizing the way we craft the site.

The site is located at http://columbus.indymedia.org or http://cbusimc.org
Here is a link to the mailman lists if you want to get on them
