This sub-forum is designed specifically for iPad issues - so no 'Off Topic' chit-chat - and for topics that are specific to Australia and therefore would be of no interest to other Members - for example, issues surrounding Australian data carriers specific Australian regulatory issues, Australian Apple Stores, repairs in Australia for iPads, Australian-only apps etc.
General iPad material - still post that in the regular section. Chit-chat and other similar material in the 'Off Topic' section.
The idea was to avoid cluttering up the main section of iPad Forum with regional specific material that may be of no interest to anyone not living in Australia.
Of course, it also is a great place for people who are planning to visit Australia to come and seek Australian advice and perhaps to more easily locate answers to their region-specific questions.
The other regional forums will have the same format and posters will be able to post in their native language and not be forced to speak English - which may put a lot of posters off from contributing.
Moderating the non-English Forums will be done by volunteers, who Colin has been seeking, as you will have seen, but anyone who speaks that particular language is, of course, encouraged to report any posts that they feel contravene the Forum rules - which have been translated into the appropriate language and posted in the sub Forum.
But, to recap, this sub Forum is for Australian-specific, iPad-related material.
