Dear OM friends,

Our website does not seem to be accessible, neither at the URL below nor at
the previous URL ourmedianet.org
Of course, http://www.ourmedia.org/ is still owned by a US-based
organization. 

We should consider purchasing the ourmedianet.org
domain again and make sure the ourmedianetwork site is fixed. Right now an
error message appears,
" Unable to connect to database server
If you still have to install Drupal, proceed to the installation page
<http://www.ourmedianetwork.org/install.php> ".

We do have a committee in charge of such matters (est at OM6), I seem to
remember Elvira among others where on it? That was a while back though so we
probably have to reassign responsibilities. Anyway, this issue needs prompt
attention. Any hands?

Gabi
