[mapguide-users] Fusion broken.

[Jonathan Moules]

Anyone? I simply can't figure out how to use this software with the current
documentation, but I guess others have managed to (you must get new users
from somewhere).
Is there some other resource out there for new users that may answer my
questions?
Thanks,
Jonathan
