[Typo3-dev] The Right Crew

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Hi Peter,

I think I agree on all of your points! I even agree that I'm a poor leader
in the current situation. The T3A board is probably not the "everyday"
leader you are looking for. The "R&D" committee is a better option, maybe
someone would like to join that - but beware, it takes some commitment.

Robert, what do you think about Peters points below?
