[Typo3-dev] How about a news group about typo3.org?

[Stig N. Færch]

It's not that I'm too eager or anything. It's just a proposal for you
guys to be able to get some better feedback.

This isn't the idea either.
The idea is that the newsgroup should be a way of getting ideas,
comments and reactions about the site(s).
Discussions on the newsgroup might lead to new ideas that you hadn't
thought about. Or things that needs to be adjusted based on reactions of
the community.

The examples are just examples, so the colorblind-thing is just made up.
(though I know that colors are an issue on homepages when talking
colorblindless)

In my mind one of the biggest strongpoints of projects like Typo3, is
the community. So the better conditions the community have, the better
Typo3 can evolve.
That's why I thought that the community-site (that's just how I see
typo3.org) would need a place for feedback.

Only my 2 cents, nothing else.
