Thanks, always nice to get such responses on my pages. Sorry I haven't any 
english version. It's a goal to get it, but it takes time. But I can tell 
that my main business isn't TYPO3, but consulting in strategic leadership, 
economical analyses, teambuilding and managment for hire. But I trying to 
get a company up and running with services around TYPO3 as core. A bit more 
than a one man company.

I'm going to follow up this, and give Sander and Sabina some reminders. The 
version 4 and new logo should be a really opportunity to do some really nice 
work marketing TYPO3. And I think all good ideas should be used. It's time 
to use the community not only to solve technical problems, but also to help 
to brand it outside todays market center.

I don't think a splitting in a free and commercial path are the right solution. 
But the making of an association not only could help the development of the 
core, but also contribute to a better marketing effort. 



WBR,
