Hi Luc,

the reason why you don't find such a statement is, that all resources of the
official developers are still focused on the core. There hasn't been any
extension coordination so far.

pi_base and t3lib_SCbase need a team to maintain them. pi_base would really need
a recode. So if you are willing to spend resources on the development of a
GENERAL library I think you should start there.

We have just started the extension coordination team. pi_base and t3lib_SCbase
could become YOUR project if you feel able to coordinate people and to cooperate
with the core team. Again I invite you to join ECT and really to do something to
improve the situation. Kaspar plans to support us as soon as TYPO3 4.0 is done.
