[Typo3-UG Australia] Web resources an other updates

[Roger Bunyan]

Hi all,
Just to let everyone know that there are things happening. I have been 
working with Paul Sanderson and we now have hosting and a domain name.

Paul Bamber from http://ezihosting.com is providing space on a server 
that will be optimised for typo3.

The domain name is cmsalliance.com.au, and was chosen because we liked 
the concept of an "alliance" as this implies independence while 
maintaining co-operation and collaboration. Also the idea of "Content 
Management" broadly describes what we all do.

Those across the Tasman, or elsewhere, may consider getting 
cmsalliance.com.nz so that you can put your own county's flavor on the 
site. With all the features of typo3 it should be possible to 
"regionalise" the site while allowing us all to contribute.

Bernie den Hertog, I believe is working on a logo and Paul Sanderson is 
setting up the initial site, obviously there is a lot of work to be done 
here so all of this isn't going to happen overnight but we should see 
some major developments during July. So give these guys some time to get 
the basics done then we will all be able to contribute.

If anyone has some content or suggestions for some sections, especially 
if they wish to administer those sections, please let us know. I plan to 
run a marketing section providing much needed information about selling 
benefits, identifying markets and the development of large turnkey packages.

I also hope to see a "sandbox" section develop that demonstrates the 
various plugins actually working. This would save everyone hours of 
testing new plugins.

I am quite excited to see this resource develop, it is already creating 
interest amongst several organisations i work with including a Chamber 
of Commerce, a community based business development center and a hosting 
company. These industry groups are keen to put EVERY small business out 
there on the web and they want to be assured that there is ongoing IT 
support for the choices they make.
