hi steffen hi jigal you are absolutely right. Another factor is frustration. ie the typo3.org website could already be online since april 2008. we invested lots of hours to setup a good structure and many other things until the leadership changed and for months there where only discussions about who will be leading next.
Thinks take way to long to make them happen. all the time and nights we invested in 2007/2008 was more or less wasted time after all. this is very frustrating! But looking to other CMS you will see that most of them include some quite essential features in core. ie login/ registration which works instantly there are quite a lot of very good solutions out in TER which are managed by companies and not only one developer who might quite after leaving university. Those company extensions are often used in many websites alread they get maintained and thexy have an own interest to do this job. ie datamints ie all typo3 browser stuff ie ... often good solutions dont get integrated because they dont seem to be supported by the core team! Why not trying out another new model of social sponsoring incl maintenance guarantee contract for 3-5 years at least? Include those companies as sponsors and supporters and i am sure more companies will offer their time or team to help out Imho to many extensions get developpwd with nearly the same featuresets. a waste of time! Much better would be to have dedicated teams i. e login registration subscription which concentrate on one integrated but perfect working core extension if this development is covered by a company even better ie datamints get the news out with cyberhouse and georg. dont waste time in improving ttnews try to involve those who are specialuzed in direct mailing to get their stuff cliser integrated an instantly supported by the core parts etcetc mention all those supporters incl their guarantee to mainain the extension until 2015 .. and they will get some free advertizing as thank you like those who already offer the ter hosting mirrors Andi Sent from my iPhone On Dec 22, 2011, at 21:53, Jigal van Hemert <ji...@xs4all.nl> wrote: >> develop *and* maintain also essential >> extensions.
