Yes, I think so :) I remember you was referred as de-facto leader of the group :) And everyone was sorry that you quit but no one could really help. > We started structuring the wiki but never got acess to the "real" > documentation or the web pages.

I am really sad that it happened, I feel we lost a lot when you decided to quit. But I understand your feelings. I hope situation is changing now. There is typo3.org team and most people understand the necessity of good docs. So you may come back some time in the future :) It would be really great :) I would love to hear from you or doc team how a developer (me to be exact) can help to rewrite such document as FTB? How this work can be organized/divided? I cannot imagine it :( I am quite sure I can get hold of FTB ownership from Kasper, so we really can update it. May be I should sucscribe to doc team list again ;) -- Dmitry Dulepov TYPO3 core team Web: http://typo3bloke.net/ Skype: callto:liels_bugs "Nothing is impossible.
