[TYPO3-dam] DAM 1.1 beta01 for download - (dam_downloads)

[Karl-Ernst Kiel]

Hi René!

Sorry - I did not read your post before I started the "dam_downloads - 
future and features" thread. Some of my questions would have been 
obsolete...

OK - please give me one or two days...
Does this mean that there will be a FE-Part beyond the dam_demo_pi in 
DAM 1.1?

This is my impression, too!

Great!

OK. I hope this DAM FE discussion I started will help to paint a picture 
of how the FE side could look like and get a status report ot the 
current activities and not lead to more confusion or even expectations 
that can not be fulfilled...
