No, I read manual through typo3.org. I did not know there is something 
else. Manual did not mention that file and normally I go to read manual 
because this is what extension is supposed to have...

It would be hard to find that big funds with just a BT entry. May be you 
can put this somehow to typo3.org main page? This extension is one of 
topmost importance among others because it makes typo3 a commerce 
application.

Well, if I ever get knowledge of how to work with commerce, I would 
definitely make a set of flash tutorials. I am used to make them and I 
am not bored by such tasks. The only problem is knowledge ;)

You, as developers, do not have to do it if there is someone else who 
can do it. But you must pass knowledge in some way.

Well, better would be a simple index.html that says: "Site is under 
construction. Meanwhile you can looks to the Commerce <a 
href="http://doc.typo3-commerce.org/">documentation</a>". This way 
people will know that site is not dead and there is still something to 
look at.

<private>Ingo, it seems that you are not getting my e-mails. I sent you

today. If you do not get it by the end of day, contact me on skype at
