well, young padawan - you might have been able to find me here - digging 
a little deeper:
http://forge.typo3.org/projects/show/extension-dam
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2381
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=6700
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=9830
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=10254
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=10312
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=10318
...
maybe here http://support.typo3.org/teams/dam/p/1/
or there 
http://support.typo3.org/general/dev/m/re-typo3-dev-more-than-10-check-boxes-9126/p/2/
or in the core dev todos for version 3.6.2
http://forge.typo3.org/repositories/entry/typo3v4-core/tags/TYPO3_3-6-2/TODO.txt?rev=412
or maybe you know some of the guys on this picture

(me sitting on the right of dan frost).

nough pl comparison - youve just put the saddle on the wrong horse ;)


the reason for my post was, that i can partly understand people asking 
"I was wondering if posting on bugs.typo3.org have any effect?":

im trying to get this http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2381 fixed since 
january 2006. instead of fixing it, it was documented as not working in 
the core api.
meanwhile i reposted it as http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=10165 - 
again no response at all.

I tried to share an idea with you, that I considered worth talkin about.
No offence!
