The new web site is late, the new CMS is late, people don't feel they can trust what they hear, etc. I love FLOW3, but I've stopped directing clients to typo3.com or .org (I use t3blog.com instead)! I believe rewriting the TYPO3 core (into FLOW3/Phoenix) is the right thing, but I believe the focus is too much on the future, and too little on what needs to be ready right now. A colleague from the Drupal side says TYPO3 seems too perfectionistic. So perfectionistic, in fact, that nothing seems ever to be finished. Food for thought. :-)

TYPO3 is there not ultimately for the agencies, but for their clients. With Xavier's attitude, TYPO3 will die: Agencies won't be able to sell the product, no matter how good it is.

People must think thay are different things!

I feel Flow3/extbase to be a big mistake, both as architectural and team 
visions, so it would be more correct if people which loves Flow3/Extbase 
makes his own CMS, instead of breaking a working one.

So please, keep TYPO3 away from FLOW3, make your PHOENIX/FLOW3 CMS and 
we'll stay all happy.

Tonino

I've refrained from voting because I feel I lack the ability to suck up all the information that is necessary to make up an informed opinion. It's hard to keep an overview from here. I'm sorry about that, but I know I'm not alone with this problem. I'd like to be more involved, that's for sure. If I only knew there was a process on changing the version number, I hope I would have been good enough to leave my feedback before it was too late.
