Adding
- a fat gui with no additional functionality besides an offline mode 
which basically requires some kind of db on the client side and the 
whole  /typo3 re-done
- written in JAVA or a proprietary Windows-only toolkit (Borland crap++)
- using SOAP
- or .NET/MONO

Man, I feel like lots of the people who propose this have been on too 
many buzzword-driven conferences or are actually computer science majors 
in Berlin ;)

Because we know TYPO3 is not slow enough already, I  propose:

Re-writing it in Visual Basic .NET and of course, Cocoa + ObjC, with 
additional J2EE and SAP support, adding one or two other wrappers and 
layers, e.g. for Fortran 77 and Websphere. Plus, I'd really like to sync 
my Outlook with tt_address and some calendar plugin, and I want to 
control TYPO3 with my (non-existant) mobile phone or (equally 
non-existant) TV remote.

Sorry, I really like the idea of a fully-featured external API, 
preferably with XML-RPC and command line interface. But the buzzword 
bingo in this thread is just too much. Or is it because all C++ and 
Java-Programmers are seeking to contribute with their tools only?

And there's still so much to do in the core, as Mattes pointed out.
