Hi Dan,

With local I meant in "city-scope", when you meant a national
foundation, that actually discards most of my concerns.

Yes. Keep this system up, I think it's working great.

"Trust" is the keyword then. And it should be given a lot attention.

Hey, thats just the way we german people function... ;)

| would be better run by a small group of dedicated, full-time TYPO3

Agreed. I will hope for the best.

bye,
Thomas
