Tom, First off, GREAT WORK. Secondly, thanks for coming to us for help when you weren't sure. I think the best way of approaching this would be to get them to sign up to the mailing list, join the Ubuntu-AU team (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Members for details) and then set up a wiki page off the main one at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam. If you're not sure how to go about this I'd look for ideas on the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Brisbane page as this was set up for a specific location as well. If you're not sure on the nuts and bolts of how to set it up then feel free to drop into IRC (my nickname is head_victim) or send an email off list (just so we don't flood the list with a WIKI101) as I'm pretty conversant with the version of wiki that is being used on the Ubuntu website by now. The Loco itself is a great way to have an umbrella group to provide help and resources (launchpad, website, wiki, IRC channels, mailing list, etc) over any number of smaller, linked groups especially in a geographically large space with low density population like we have in Australia. We just need people to contribute content to them. I would encourage anyone else out there wanting to do something similar to get in and give it a go as well.
