[TYPO3-ect] Alternatives to TS

[Elmar Hinz]

Hi Ries,

this group is about extensions. Here we can mainly ask, if we have
alternatives languages to configure our extensions, especially scripts
"outside" of the system like cronjobs etc.

Certainly it is possible to provide a completly new FE-Rendering System
based on TS2-Object as an Extension. I guess the whole TS-BE-Administration
could be reused for this. Kasper could answer this.

Probably we should regard TS2 rather as a core project. Or has anyone
ambitions to organize this as extension? Well there is already obts.

Regards

Elmar
