[TYPO3-GSoC] Typo3 "Core updater".

[Kay Strobach]

Hello Kostya,

thanks for choosing this topic.
You may have noticed some notes below your proposal on melange.

If you have any questions even on the start with TYPO3 don't hesitate to
ask :D

Regarding Coreupdate i think we should have a short talk (e.g. via Skype
or hangout) as some preparations have already been done :D

Regards
Kay
