Very difficult. I now have several resources - including the contents of the CD. All well written - couldn't fault the content - BUT - I've come to the conclusion - the only way to really progress in Joomla is to actually DO IT! Because all the resources approach the understandings in a different way. I wonder whether this is typical of IT learning generally? It probably is come to think of it - I've had similar experiences trying to coach people in the use of Publisher. Very abstract body of knowledge to impart.

Its always difficult to get motivated on a complex item. But I'm going to have to put my money where my mouth is soon to get into those two community group's web info. To be effective with that I need to be confident with Joomla! Thanks Tim. Its always difficult to get motivated on a complex item.

It does take some time to work on it. It is a complicated tool, but it is worth the time to learn. On ya Sandra. I am pleased that Sandra is getting to understand the basics of Joomla.

Found within the CD plenty of documentation that I CAN understand - so not going to do my own - no need to re-invent wheels. Been working on relinking my site's sample data. Interesting learning at Saturday's meeting - ONLY disable - not necessary to delete unwanted items of sample data. Working slowly - seem to be getting little chunks of understanding at a time - but at least its some sort of progress :) It’s taken me a while to explore all the CD goodies.

But glad to be home in Kiama! Re new members. If there are other groups out there reading KJUG (and it looks as if there are) please feel free to comment on how you accommodate new members' learning process. It must be a fairly common issue? Possibly one option would be for the group leader to work with the new member - and the rest to work together sharing current work. Thanks Tim – yep – SA was great. But glad to be home in Kiama!
