[Typo3-dev] The Right Crew

It is time to change focus from "building" to "maintaining"
Typo3. And for that we need people with other qualities I think...

1. Coordination
The most important thing. We have a lot of people and a lot of
ideas, but we need someone to coordinate them!

2. Guidelines
We do not need pragmatism, we need guidelines! We need someone
who can take the visions and form them into roadmaps. Someone
that can say "this is the way we should go".

3. Stamina.
We need a lot of this, yes. But not in every person involved in
the community. Instead we need someone who month after month are
trying to find and encourage other people to help. A headhunter
always searching for new volunteers.

4. Vision
We have this already in the community. BUT, we need people that
are able to find the good ideas and transform them into
projects/real code.

So what I suggest is that we try to look for new kinds of people
leading the future development of Typo3! I think Kasper has done
a great job but - no offense - is it time for someone else to
take the lead?

This pragmatic "freedom" way is not bad, but maybe Typo3 could
benefit from some guidelines and coordination?

PS. It does not have to but one single person. Instead it should
be a group of people - maybe the T3A board?
