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

[Martin Baum]

Hi,
I'm also one of the "island - developers" for a new frontend  
extension. Here my current status

This features are already finished:

- multiple fe - usergroups can be assigned to a DAM category
- child categories inherit their fe-group assignments from parent  
categories
- access to files happens via a Pushfile like in the  
alternet_securelink extension. So you can secure your files by  
an .htaccess.
- file lists can be filtered by different criterias ( category  
membership, filetype, age)
- dam category tree in the frontend. Category selections can be  
modified by this tree


planned features:
- filter criterias / states can be stored  by a frontend users
- fileupload with categorisation.


the problem is: I haven't used the dam_catedit API or the  
dam_downloads extension. I also wanted to contribute my results, but  
how can this be coordinated. I would change / refactor things in my  
extension on your demands. I also would endorse a big dam_download  
extension and I could spend about 10 hours per week on this.

Whom can I submit my results ?

Thank You

Martin Baum
