No no...

I think the mayor problem with these discussions are that there
is never a well formed conclusion and a good action plan.

As always with these items we want way to much and to complex (means  
to expensive),
not that they are good ideas, but not visible in a sensible way.

For example I could make a little system for a reviewer and
allows a review to deny adding it to TER and send a message back with  
a reason.

But if it's never going to be accepted it's for me no point even to
start thinking about making it.

As always, somebody maintains TYPO3.ORG and TER, but these people  
never stand
up(as far as I know)  and mangle in the discussions and assign  
responsibilities,
and thus they are always dead ends. Looking at the state of typo3.org  
I can only conclude
that there is no activity there.

http://support.typo3.org/ is already down for such a long time that I  
don't even expect anybody home.
So if we don't get support from these people, what are we going to do??
