Hi,
first of all, greetings to all of you. This is my first entry, after 
playing around with typo3 for half a year, I finally decided to dive 
even deeper into the topic...

So, my question:
Is there a section which deals with automation issues. Things like:

- Creating ten pages at once ... Functions
- Importing a tree structure ... Ext MindmapImport
- BatchUpload of pictures ... Ext MassUpload

This are some very different examples, the only thing they have in 
common is the "batch" character. And there will be more. I am currently 
working on some extensions, scripts and function collection which will:

Include AutoIt. A simple way to create different kind of autoIt Jobs 
inside typo3 to be handled by the server. E.g. convert videos to 
different formats (using AutoIt and VirtualDub), batch clean directories 
or rename files or other batch tasks.

TestSystemMover. A collection of scripts which will synchronize a test 
system with a productive system.

And more stuff like this..

So, my question, is there a place for the collected knowledge and ideas 
about the topic "Automation and Batch Stuff". If not, what do you think 
of creating such a section...

Second question, if it is to early to create a complete new section, 
where should i put my first draft of the pages (then we will see if we 
really need a new section or can sort it in another way...)
