[TYPO3-dev] RFC as tool to concept branch 5.x -- WAS: TYPO3 5 mailing list?

[Kasper Skårhøj]

I'm my personal opinion the most fruitful example of online  
collaboration on RFCs in our community is presented by the ECT. Hence  
I credit Elmar pretty high for his suggestion of the RFC.

Ideally, version 5.0 is a product of say 50 developers working in  
pairs/groups on the implementation of distinct parts of the system.  
Before this can go into production we need to design the overall  
architecture of components.

Basically:
- Identify components (each later described with RFC)
- Place them in relation to each other (2D map of some sort)
- Develop the RFCs
- Produce the RFCs

It is still possible that a mailing list for 5.0 is a good idea, but  
lets get a little further on the collaboration model first. I know  
everyone is about to explode with ideas for actual things, but they  
are lost without a structure that will store them.
