Resources section

Here's a question for the administrators and moderators about the resources section. I was clicking through each of the country sections and found that none of the one I clicked on had been constructed yet. I'd be keen to help a little bit with that section (maybe I could write about New Zealand and/or Germany for example) but first I need to know what you expect those articles to look like. Do you want general information about each country? Do you want information about the political situation? Do you want  information for travellers? How long should the articles be? etc etc. I'd be grateful for a bit more guidance before I start editing anything on there, so that I know that what I'm producing is at least sort of what you're after.

Thanks BerlinBear, it's very kind to contribute in building the resources pages :)

Do not hesitate to create new pages :)

As I wrote on the main page, the resources part of the website is made by expatriates for expatriates . I think all information is interresting ! Just remember that it's done to help people who are abroad.

At the moment there's no fixed structure. I began to add information about Spain here: https://www.expat.com/resources/doku.php/spain
I suggest we adjust pages and the structure little by little. Of course I won't be able to help you with countries I don't know, but I'll always try to help you in structuring your pages ;)

If your articles are long, it is worth creating "sub chapters" for every country. There is no limit in the size of your article.

All your suggestions and ideas are welcome :) I am looking forward to reading your articles about NZ and Germany!

As we are at the beginning of the construction, it might be a little bit difficult, so do not hesitate to ask questions, and little by little, I am sure we'll find the best solutions!

OK, thanks for that info Julien. Since I'm moving, I'll be incommunicado for a few days, but once I'm back up and running I'll make a start. There will no doubt be questions as I go along, but I'll give it my best shot.

You're very welcome BerlinBear :)

"Bon courage" for your move!
