I'll have a look at it, too ;)

there should also be a FE-editing inside TV - but I'm not sure if the 
non-working FE-editing/Timtaw is a "bug" in TV or not.

We should also think of performance when probably developing a new 
FE-editing solution etc., because I think that e.g. a typo-framework 
with TV, your ext_framework and maybe a new FE-editing framework will 
contain huge libraries layed over the typo3-framework which might 
heavily increase rendering-time. So maybe refactoring the 
core-functionallities might be some better way for this - or at least 
take those functionality out of the core into an extension, so that the 
core is keept as small and fast as possible.

can you read my mind? I always wanted something like this and was going 
to code at least some kind of it (as far as my skills go at least).

it would also be possible to implement those features (at least voting) 
into a forum (chc_forum) or whatever to easily achive portal-features. 
Private Messages could work the same way.

I'm on - I need this stuff anyway :)
