Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org

With the US Presidential Election coming up, we've had a lot of story submissions that we would like to post, but they don't fit very well on the Slashdot main page. To address this, we'll be running special political coverage between now and the election in our new Politics subsection of Slashdot. Please submit stories directly to the section for consideration. As with all sections on Slashdot, there will be stories available within that section that don't get posted to the main page, so please visit the section if you are interested in more coverage. We'll do our best to be fair with story selection. We think we can do a good job since the Slashdot editors represent a diverse spectrum of political ideologies. The discussions are up to you guys. Here's hoping the experiment works!

Maybe a bit less american-centrism?

I'm ~really~ not trying to be a troll here: Can we see Slashdot move the hell away from it's american-centrism? There are other english speaking/literate countries in the world folks.

Particularly bad in the 'Your Rights Online' section; I'd love to see+hear perspectives of people's rights online internationally, not just what the next 'just a bill up on capitol hill' song and dance is.

Um

Did you guys HAVE to use American flags everywhere? I mean if this was for the US election, could this then be USelections.slashdot.org or USpolitics.slashdot.org?

Any Politics?

Based on the banner image I would suggest this category be renamed US Politics
