I don't understand that direction.

Current status = working:
- works with Text + Text with images (of course only the text part) + 
its title.
- Simple API to get it working with extensions + viewhelper for extbase 
records.
- API to turn it on/off per user/group + TS
- Content element up/down/move, hide/unhide, delete

Problems are for example:
- There so many ways how TS output (e.g. lib.stdHeader) can be modified 
and aloha needs to know about it to be sure that correct content is saved
- Creating links to internal pages/magicimages in bodytext (i never use 
those)
- Support of special content elements like "Table" and "List element" 
because those are saved completly different.
- 100% support of access rights of user (is user allowed to move 
elements, ...) but there are also many todos in feedit extension (I will 
open issues for those).
- Missing documentation
- [tons of other things]

All extensions I did have been very open to the community but problem is 
of course always to motiviate people to contribute and therefore I am 
not 100% sure if that works. Ask e.g. workspace guys but I have also 
seen this myself very often and I am fine with it. I fully understand 
why people can't contribute on projects of someone else (because they 
got personal projects, too less time and so on).

So maybe I go with a similiar approach like solr because IMO it is fair 
to everybody. Let's talk at T3DD
