[TYPO3-dam] Does DAM die?

[Jonas Dübi]

Hello everyone

René didn't writhe any post in the list since nearly 5 months, and in 
the last weeks there was nearly no movement. For me it's realy important 
to know how DAM will continue?

There are still a lot of bugs to fix in rc1 and there is still a lot to 
do for dam. TYPO3 needs something like a DAM, that's for shure, but it 
has to be stable, it has to support the basic typo3 features like 
workspaces and history.

I think a fileadmin with search function, versioning and that the files 
are not copied when you insert them into a content element, are the 
basic functions we realy need, everything else is nice to have.

And the most important point is, that it should integrate as transparent 
as possible in the whole system. There should be a way to use dam 
without adding dam fields for every file/image field, and changing the 
fe source code the way that it uses DAM. Otherwise, DAM users will 
always have a much smaler amount of extensions they can use. And there 
is already a split up between 'just dam' and 'no dam support' 
extensions, which is also not realy good, because this way the 
development is done again and again and again.

What do you think about? What are your plans to improve DAM?

Regards, Jonas
