[TYPO3-english] Introduction package - any Documentation of structure/concept ?

[Christoph Stadler]

Hi Francois,

it would be great to have something to decrypt this, i found a german 
/austrian to be precis) tutorial which goes into this direction, not 
easy to find it though when you're looking for 'Introduction Package' 
and ending up with 'Extension Templates'.

WHat i'm wondering/missing is if the way the Introduction Package is 
built somehow represents a 'best practice' approach ? Especially the 
extreme segmentation of the templates and scripts into folders, 
subfolders and then again in the filesystem makes me wonder ... what was 
the concept behind this ? Is this just taken to the extreme for demo 
purposes or is this how it should be done in the eyes of the typo3 
developpers ?

I suppose the intro package is one of the first things people new to 
typo3 or these newer versions would go to to find enlightenment, so a 
short video tutorial of the people who did put some thought into this 
package would be great ...
