That is not right. Most of the members of the v5 team are working for free.

You imply that there is no or low result, I disagree. There is FLOW3 and 
Extbase. you can start to develop extensions in a modern way right now.

> We also need a real testing team because relying on 1 or 2 review in a such complex system is completely  irresponsible idea, especially given a huge increase in a number of contributions. But no one listens!!! Everyone just says: "We are cool, TYPO3 is cool, all cool, T3A is cool, we will get a cool v5 soon, all is cool..." but nothing is cool for more than a year already.

There is no real steering. There is no big view on architecture, etc. After Kasper left TYPO3 moves randomly here and there. Bad for the product...

IMO you fight for something that is a proper development in TYPO3 from 
your perspective. But I agree that we need a "vision" (apart from having 
TYPO3 v5.

That is indeed a problem. We have to solve. A overhault release 
management and more professional testing is a way to achieve that.

I am not so pessimistic. But, yes. There is a lot to optimize we have to 
talk about. Painting black and white is not the right way here.

I am on vacation right now and can answer only time by time. Seems that 
interesting discussions come up every time I am on vacation ;-)
