I think you all have to be patient!!! The ECT is newly born and 
it is not very easy to change the community away from the "do it 
yourself" mentality to a "cooperation" mentality!

I guess the wiki pages are more like a working area for the ECT. 
When there are things ready to be released we should use the 
typo3.org web pages and/or TER for that.

But right now we are just in a discussion phase and there are 
lots of work to be done before we have something concrete to 
show the community.

But maybe we should be better at spreading information about the 
progress and try even harder to get people involved...?

I like the idea (I don´t think it´s new) and like to add:
- Log in
- Link list
