Diagonal keeps you up to date!
WHATS IS DIAGONAL?
Diagonal is a fortnightly, self-managed newspaper, published by activists and communication professionals, thanks to the support of almost 5.000 subscribers and hundreds of people collaborating with the project. In the six years since it was first published, the newspaper has contributed to the spreading of a communicative model based on cooperation and autonomy from economic and political powers.
WHAT DO WE WANT?
After consolidating the newspaper as an information reference with a different approach on important current affairs, and focusing on what does not appear in the mass media, our main objective now is to launch an online information portal with daily updates. For some time, we have been able to verify how our news, when published on the internet, reaches hundreds of people who discuss, share and enrich these contents.
At this moment, www.diagonalperiodico.net is the digital version of the printed newspaper. At present we want to create a permanently updated information portal which will be a tool, not only for providing critical and independent information, but also for the use and activity of social movements.
We have decided the focus on the new website is important and this is the reason why we are asking for your collaboration to obtain the 10.000 Euros necessary for its launch.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
Our website will be transformed into an information portal based on a content manager (Drupal) developed completely with free software which will allow easier reading and higher visibility of our news. This tool will include:
- Newspaper portal and news manager
- Local editions as sub-domains
- Integration with social networks
- Blog aggregation system
- Intranet shared with subscribers, collaborators and distribution points
- Integrated Newsletter system
- Multiuser edition system
- Cloud cache system
- Semantic web to improve access to information through key words
- Optimisation for browsers and SEO
- On demand advertising manager
- Dynamic online shop
RESPONSIBLE INFORMATION
The updating of news in multiple formats will increase our visibility as an information medium included in movements for cooperation, free culture and social economy as a real alternative to market economy. Diagonal, as a publication of free access, intends to contribute to the struggle against companies and governments which threaten public and open use of the internet.
We need stable projects with strong social support to ensure independence and continuity. *We depend on you! *

Hola, qué raro! Hemos escrito a todos y todas, incluso varias veces a las personas que no nos contestaban... Me podrías mandar tu correo a diagonalweb@gmail.com para poder buscar tus datos y hacerte el reenvío?
Un saludo y disculpas,

Hola Marcos
Todo el dinero recaudado irá para el proyecto de la nueva web, es el compromiso que se adquiere en este tipo de campañas.
Cuando pensamos la campaña nos dijimos que conseguir 10.000 euros en 40 días era un objetivo realista, pero realmente sabíamos que el cambio a la nueva web requerirá una cantidad muy superior. Además del cambio en el diseño y en la estructura, aparte de las nuevas herramientas de gestión integradas, la nueva web requerirá de un nuevo puesto de trabajo, dado que todo esto lo hacemos para tener un portal con actualización diaria.
Además, debes tener en cuenta el porcentaje de Verkami -la plataforma con la que hemos hecho la campaña- por su servicio, y los gastos de envío de las recompensas para las 563 personas que ya han aportado.
Muchas gracias por tu interés. ¡Un abrazo!
Marcos
10.000€ son para el proyecto de la nueva web. Los 9.150€ que "sobran", ¿a que los vais a destinar?

Hola D.
Gracias por el seguimiento exhaustivo! Esto va mucho mejor de lo que esperábamos, la verdad. Sobretodo por lo masivo que viene siendo, hasta ahora ya son 411 personas que se han apuntado al "mecenazgo" éste sin contar todo el apoyo indirecto que nos llega.
Muchas gracias por el ánimo,
D.
Ahora en serio, ¿esperábais superar por tanto los 10mil? ¡y aún queda!. ¡Entro dos veces al día, solo para ver cómo evoluciona!, enhorabuena. Un "mecenas" agradecido :)

Creo que la campaña está siendo un éxito. Yo hasta he repetido como colaborador. Da gusto apreciar la necesidad que la gente tiene de un periódico como el vuestro. Ojalá D crezca en sentido proporcional.

Gracias!
La verdad es que no teníamos pensado ofrecer servicios de correo.
Ya existen muchos (y buenos) servicios que no pasan por grandes empresas como nodo50.org, sindominio.net o riseup.net.
Un abrazo!
José
¡Enhorabuena por lograr el objetivo! Ahora a por los 20000 ;)
Mi pregunta es... dentro del cambio planeado, ¿váis a ofrecer cuentas de correo electrónico? Estoy harto de yahoo y google...
¡Muchas gracias!
