[TYPO3-UG US] Support Section and TYPO3.us

[Elmar Hinz]

Hello,

The count of active people is small enough on typo3.org. Everyone of the 
community is needed there. To double structures here, would waste resources.

Having native english speakers from us is of double advantage. They can 
improve the documents. They can give support during other hours.

Yes, the face to the customer should be as regional as possible, I 
think. america.typo3.com, us.typo3.com, even ny.typo3.com would make 
sense in my opinion. The grade of regionalization would depend on the 
amount of people that work with typo3. Local business saves long ways, 
saves money, energy, pollution and time. So please look for the customer 
near to you first.

Regional usergroups make a lot of sense, too, for motivation, 
cooperations, etc. But you will seldom find technical discussions on 
regional lists. It is much more likeley to get answers in the 
international ones.

Think practical. Think community. Find the right regional level for each 
task.
