I'm proposing that we start a Mexico interest collective here on kos in order to pay better attention to important news from Mexico. At this point the election is critical but there will surely be other stories.
Usually when there is an important story going on someone with a strong interest and subject background will step up and track an issue. There doesn't appear to be a regular diarist for issues regarding Mexico.
More on the flip...
The collective would work as follows.
One member, the diary starter, would be in charge of starting collective diaries as necessary. The other collective members subscribe to the diary starters diaries. In this way we could keep a diary running without depending on it appearing on the new diary list.
In the collective diary we would post news story links and other info, like accounts from friends and family in Mexico.
The collective diary could serve as a news resource for larger kos community on its own; it could also be used as a resource for the creation of a regular diary.
This model could also be used to organize interest groups on other issues that could use more prominence on kos.
This diary serves as a place to discuss the idea of a Mexico interest collective and interest collectives in general. It can also be used as an open thread on Mexico news.
