[TYPO3-dev] Experience from usergroup meeting about core development

[Georg Ringer]

Hi guys & girls,

I just wanna share a part of the experience / result from the last
austrian usergroup meeting.

The common opinion was that there is no direction of development which
is then followed by the whole core team. Everybody does the features
which are nice for himself but nobody checks the requirements of an
enterprise cms or from the competitors.

There was a nice comparison to the red cross and the voluntary fire
brigade ("freiwillige feuerwehr"): In both and TYPO3, it is an own
decision to work for those and you do it in your spare time *but* what
you do there then exactly is told by the captain and everybody follows.
It would be impossible to extinguish a fire if everbody wants to drive
the truck or at the same time nobody wants to
This leadership is kind of missing and hindering for development.

I would be happy to get your impression, feedback, whatsoever

Georg
