[TYPO3-timtab] commenting integrated in timtab

[Jonas Dübi]

Hello

That's a typical problem of open source and I already saw some similar 
examples within the whole typo3 project. (all the extension extensions...)

I think it's a good idea to fork the ve_guestbook if the author doesn't 
cooperate with the community, because that's a natural process within 
open source projects.

But I think it's not a good idea to fully integrate the comments part 
into the timtab, because it would produce a lot of overhead. I think it 
would best if we keep the amount of extensions with do similar things as 
small as possible. In example there is an extension which allows to add 
comments to every page/content...

If we have 3 or 4 extensions which do handle comments (comments for the 
whole page -> guestbook, comments for news and comments for single 
pages/content) it will be a lot of confusion for the users, and a lot of 
overhead and another 3 or 4 other ways to solve things, 3 or 4 more html 
templates to design, 3 or 4 more different css class sets to define and 
so on...

Fork but pleas try to prohibit confusion for the users :-)
