[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC #9403,9644: Missing media types

[Uschi Renziehausen]

Hi Dan,

do you have an approximate idea of how many hours might be needed to fix 
it? We still have three weeks time (documentation and the sql-stuff for 
selections), so if it can be done for 1.1 we should do it, because this 
means one more oddity out of the way.
