Notes
CalebPhillips expands on the history of the PTP -> local content is central to the PTP and at the same time is a 'stunning failure'. AlexisTurner responds saying the average websurfer is lazy and uninspired to contribute.

post MGP news on the MGP 'portal'(drupal). Audio from local music shows, recording studio as downloads on portal. DonPark says Need to skin the site before pushing people towards it. AlexisTurner suggests MGP radio station, and food menus (see MississippiOutreach for ideas).
