</div>That latter version is the way I read the proposal. I'd be supportive<br>
of such an undertaking as long as the groups in Melbourne do actually<br>
talk to each other and help each other use the equipment. Maybe<br>
Melbourne WordPress group can offer a training session for other<br>
groups as part of this (e.g. for LUV) and thus help them get started.<br>
<br>
Just my 2c worth.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Silvia.<br>
