[Typo3] Is TYPO3 used in amarica at all

[Christoph Koehler]

Hello,

I'm from Germany, married now and living in Oklahoma, so I guess I get the  
best of both worlds: I can read all the English and German documentation.  
To be honest though, there hasn't been a problem that could be solved with  
English docs or mailing list; talking of which, it IS an awesome source of  
information!!

I got hooked with T3 because it looked so complicated. Ya, I am weird. I  
used Mambo in my own site since I didn't have good hosting, but now I am  
doing a few sites in T3, including my own. All focus around Christian  
stuff: University of Oklahoma Baptist Student Union (www.oubsu.org), Life  
Impact Conference in OKC (www.lifeimpactokc.org), my own personal site  
(www.koehler.uni.cc) and soon another site for Project Impact (still under  
construction, sorry :) )
Three of those sites run on one Typo3 installation, with different domain  
records. Awesome little program!
All of them are also done in TV!

I am now trying to get into extension programming; I am currently working  
on the cwt_community extension, trying to make it similar to facebook. We  
will see....pretty busy time at the moment!

Anyway, good to see people from here get more involved! I tried to get  
some more traffic on the US usergroup list, but it didn't last long; the  
English list is still the way to get a discussion going!

Have a good night everyone!

Christoph
