[TYPO3-english] Setting up TYPO3 with Maven2

[Erik Svendsen]

Hi!

Would you explain what you want to achieve with setting up TYPO3 project 
with Maven 2. Personally I never use more than 1 - 2 hours setting up 
skeleton of a TYPO3 site, including most used extension, standard ext 
templates, and the skeleton of main template.

The rest are specific for each site.

Maybe this are reasons for the lack of interest, TYPO3 is fast to get up 
when you have experience.

Regards Erik
