There has been often said that TYPO3 is mostly volunteer work,

however when I look at the mailing list then most mails of core get's  
through
European day time. So apparently people do improve on TYPO3 during  
work hours (did I say work hours??)
So saying it's all volunteer work is not really fair, this is not 100%  
true, work get's done in the clients time...

I know some of you people are freelance software engineers, while  
others have a payed job (by boss...)

What I would propose, is that all people with payed jobs would go to  
there employers,
and ask them if they can use an XX amouth of hours (between 4 and 8 a  
week) to
work on TYPO3.

This happens for real in many other open source projects driven by the  
community,
and it really works.

TYPO3 (everybody, clients, developers, doc writers, companies using  
TYPO3) need to start deciding
what sort of development model TYPO3 needs to follow.

TYPO3 will still be there for a long time, since FLOW3 is not even  
close to what TYPO3 is today.
(I see FLOW3 as the TCE + some template engine for TYPO3....)

You might wonder, why not??? (there are many answers to this question,  
really....)
