Full ACK.

Ah, I just read this now. Wonderful :-)
Btw. is it the "DAM 1.1 Team" or just the "DAM Team" (or "DAM Development
Team"). Actually we're not limited to DAM 1.1, are we?

However, the DAM team is still not listed here:
http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Teams

>> * DAM 1.0 releases: Old stable branch, only urgent bugfixes
>> * DAM 1.1 releases: Stable branch
>> * DAM 1.2 releases: Development branch, new features

This is not the case yet. Currently there is only one branch: DAM_1-0. DAM
1.1 has not been forked into a branch yet and therefore still lives in
Trunk.

Are you familar with branching and how to handle it in Subversion? Otherwise
I can offer my help here. Just recommend to do it similar like in
TYPO3core.

Well, that goes for every extension. Nothing DAM specific...

Don't focus too much on DAM 1.2 yet, we're still in the middle of finishing
DAM 1.1... However, I suggest we have a session about this at T3DD08. What
do you think? Ask Thomas Hempel if he can still add it to the schedule...

What's the problem? DAM 1.0 and 1.1 both work with TYPO3 4.2, and if you
like you could still raise the limit for DAM 1.1 now. You just cannot
change it for DAM 1.0.

Beautiful :-)

Done. I will send Luc a notification about it.
