[Typo3-UG Australia] Group Activity

[Cousins]

I'm also happy to contribute if/where I can - I'm in NZ but don't hold that 
against me.   :-)

There is an informal user group in NZ not sure if the others joined this 
usergroup (I posted the invitation on their list) and I haven't had much 
contact with anyone at this end of the earth with the exception of Callum 
in Auckland and Roger in OZ. I wouldn't make a coder's rear end but can 
eventually (with guidance) make my way forward.

So far I've done a couple of small sites for local small businesses and a 
larger site for my model club. I'm in the process of developing a site 
related to my hobby - its live but has faults (search function and one or 
two others) at www.toysnz.com.

My biggest difficulty has been that despite the vast amount of information 
on Typo3.org I have found it frustrating to find the answers to my problems 
- documentation on extensions is often missing altogether - that's where a 
usergroup such as this comes to the fore - Roger has in the past been very 
helpful in explaining how things go together or how he got things to work.

Ok there's my 2c worth - I'm in and will keep on plugging away and help out 
where I can ...
