I hope I have some rights because I have helped TYPO3 a couple of times ;-)

As for the specific point of complain. typo3.org was then working (incl. 
TER 1) not it is broken. typo3.org was relaunched *knowing* the the work 
has not been finished because the developers felt that it would never 
happen if they didn't do it then. At least this is what I have been told 
on this list.

I do value volunteer work very much. I have invested time into TYPO3 and 
other projects. And I do know how much it sucks if only your failures 
produce any comments.

But what now? If the original developers cannot maintain typo3.org I 
think it's time to spend the money. Of course it's sad when nobody steps 
up to save typo3.org, but it's much too important to wait for a yet 
unkown hero.

And not part of my rant goes to the ridiculous (sorry, but it is) 
"supported" flag. I want to share my extensions and the EM denies them 
effectively from TYPO3 users. And even worse the search in TER2 hides 
some of them as well. I think that a situation like that justifies an 
emotional outburst.
