I admit that I never try to access a newsgroup by a website. :-) That
wouldn't come into my mind. Laughter.

I hope this makes progress. I would be very interesting to read the core
list. I am sure it would motivate some more people to join in. I am not
sure if it would be a good idea to give write access to everybody.

SVN is a definitely a good possiblitly to follow the daily development. I
hope a Trac sourcecode browser will soon find it's way to typo3.org. Until
then you find it here:

http://svn.t3.digitaldistrict.de/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser

As long as people get an answer mailing to core developers. Which is not
for sure if you look at the small circle of the core/maintainance team.

This list - t.dev - is really a good place to ask questions and to get in
contact with the core developrs. It is most likely that you get an answer
here and everybody can profit. But it doesn't replace read access to the
core list.
