[Typo3-UG Australia] chit chat

:) Thats what UG are all about ! :)

:/ I rekon a few simplistic tutorials from go to whoa on how to port an 
existing site (ie css templates etc) to typo3 should be on the cards. 
its a powerful system - but to gain worldwide acceptance it needs to 
promote the lowest common denominator ;)

> Typo3 is frustrating be warned. 
I've found that ;)

:) Great to hear. Its a powerful system - just requires some massaging 
I'm sure.

Would love to. I'm a bit concerned that it gets hard with an australian 
wide "clientelle" however. If Paul is in Brisbane, I'm in Canberra - 
where are the rest of you ?

:) Sounds grand !

> Anybody interested in working with me to take oztug a bit further?
Sure ! My time is pretty limited these days - and i'm no programmer - 
but if its graphics / initial designs you require - then i'm your man.

Must dash - all sounds exciting! :)
