[TYPO3-doc] Documentation budgets

Hi,

I agree with all that, and it's really cool that you are motivated to 
maintain and improve the wiki constantly.

Requesting budgets is actually something new for me. My conviction is 
that it may help get some tasks done or motivate people to keep 
contributing. For the DocBook project there was also an open question 
that maybe we would need some professional help at some point and would 
have to pay for it. I don't know if that will be the case. I think 
rather not, but it's still good to have a budget.

But your remarks are exactly the reason why I wanted to open this thread 
and be very transparent about having a budget. Some people might feel 
ambiguous about this and it's good that all opinions be expressed.

Cheers
