Hi Gavin, Welcome to the WSG list! The WSG has members in many cities/countries. At present we have about 200 members (growing daily) including members from:
Australia (NSW, Vic, WA), Austria, Belgium (4), Brazil (4), Canada (4), Denmark, France, Germany (2), Iceland, India (2), Italy (4), Netherlands (3), New Zealand (2), Phillipines, Russia, Spain (3), Sweden (3), United Kingdom (8), USA (30) across a wide range of states. We are keen to have meetings start up in any city that is interested. The mailing list is great, but meeting other developers face to face is a real buzz - especially when established so that each meeting can have set topics and presentations. If you are keen to start something, let us know and we will do what we can to help. Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Melbourne, Australia is now set up and we have a first meeting date set for Monday March 15! Special guest for the first meeting, flying in just for the meeting) will be John Allsopp. Of course if you are free tonight, you can always come to the Sydney (Australia) meeting :) > > HI, > > Just wanted to say hi - i have just joined this group and noticed that > a lot of you are from Australia!.. are there ppl from elsewhere? > > I have been involved with web standards for about 6 months now and am a > major advocate - > > I would like to know what Quality Assurance procedures/practices people > have in place to make sure ur sites adhere to web standards.
