[TYPO3-dev] typo3-merged and tools.typo3.org

[Fabien Udriot]

Hi Ernesto,

Did you get some other (more verbose) feedback elsewhere than on this ML about your initiative? ;)

I guess opening a new VM would be a good first step where to put
http://www.typo3-anbieter.de/typo3-merges/. Do you already have one?

All the best,

Fabien
