California here...
It's nice to hear I'm not alone in my struggles with Typo3. I, too, am not
complaining--not only because it's free, but because it's so versatile. It's
true, there is a lot of documentation, but that's a whole lot better than
not enough (which is Mambo's problem). The videos really helped. Sometimes I
thank Kasper out loud for the huge amount of energy he has put into this
project.
But I haven't a clue why there are fewer users out here - if that's really
the case. My first thought was that you're not getting a lot of posts at
midnight because that's quitting time out here--everyone's leaving the
office. But on second thought, this is America--programmers overwork
themselves here and usually leave late.
