[TYPO3-dam] DAM frontend

[Tomi Hrovatin]

Hi all,

after a closer review of extensions, we decided that dam_frontend is 
closer to our needs.

I still think that both extensions have a lot in common and they could 
be developed together.

Anyway, Thomas, thanks for all info.

Stefan I will contact you directly.

T.
