I think we always have to be aware of that there is a great risk 
that our work is not appreciated by the community or - more 
important - by Kasper.

I think I will form my own goals on this one:

I want to be able to sell TYPO3 here in Sweden, but I want to 
sell a system that the customer CAN take care about himself if 
he wants to. Of course I want him to hire my as a consultant, 
but I dont want to _force_ him to because I sold him a deficient 
system. (Now I get the whole community against me!  :-))

So my personal goals for contributing to the community are:

1. To get easy to find, good enought documentation to install 
and administer a TYPO3 web site.

2. To get extensions that work out-of-the-box. I am not that 
good at programming, so this one maybe will be done by having my 
own "repository" with good, working extensions. And I probably 
have to write better documentation for some to them...  :-)

I think CSH is for the User documentation. But there still be 
Admin docs that would not fit into CSH (like User management, 
templates, menues, TS-configuring and things like that).

And we probably want to have the tutorial separate too. And all 
that non-CSH documentation I think is best handled on the wiki, 
right now.

The risk is that what we do on the wiki is not approved by 
Kasper/the community and therefor the wiki and typo3.org is not 
syncronised. But hopefully we can "join forces"...

As long as we dont get "the big guys" against us, I will try to 
hold on! I can be quite stubborn if I want to.  :-)

And I really think Typo3 is a great CMS with great potentional. 
It just needs a little more focus on the users!
