[TYPO3-community] Community-Extension? Looking for supporters and sponsors!

[Alexander Heim]

Hi Marc,

thats nice to read and i just have to say, that I was thinking about sponsors to
support some developers. I also could try to get some money and would support
this. Its not much, but if we get some more people, then this could be a good
start. Currently i checked http://www.boonex.com/products/dolphin/ . Quite
interesting product, but again stuff is missing to be perfect or even to be
usefull enough on some parts for us. But a good idea to see, what is available
for free on the market. I installed this one and tested it and there are some
really nice ideas inside of it.
Anyway. Something on TYPO3 would be perfect. The big question is, in which way
and how the community extensions should be implemented and work together and
which roadmap could be possible. Of course it depends on the money, but maybe to
get an idea, how much time and money would be needed and how the result would
be. Did you checked the WIKI with ideas from some users of this group? Which
kind of experiences does your agency has with development of TYPO3 Extensions?
Sadly I have no time for starting to develope stuff for TYPO3. I really would
like, but I also need some hours for sleeping ;-). But maybe I can help with
some money. A bit. For me its important, that someone would lead the different
developers and subprojects, to get a perfect and flexible result.

Keep us informed!
