[TYPO3-dam] DAM and TYPO3 4.5

Yes, the problem is that there's a maximum of 6-10 people fixing bugs 
and doing reviews. And even if someone is doing patches it takes a while 
to get reviews.

The current issues for TYPO3 4.5 without FAL can be found in the 
bugtracker. It's not much, but I just want to know if DAM 1.2 will be 
for 4.5 without FAL and then I can help bringing it to the DAM list.

I like the idea of having DAM 1.1.x for 4.2-4.4, DAM 1.2 for 4.5 without 
FAL and DAM 1.3/2.0 for extending FAL. I'm very interested in the TYPO3 
4.5 features for our university, but we need to make sure that DAM will 
not be an "update blocker"...
