We can "dumb down" TYPO3 and slowly unfold it towards full capacity as 
the needs of the client increases. That's a good selling tool too.

There is a way to configure a lite version of TYPO3 using an extension 
to disable most options to give newbies faster access to basic features.

Should we consider including tm_contentaccess in the new Quickstart? Do 
we have a list of what will be in the new Quickstart? The "quicker" it 
is to get up and running with the new quick start the better our market 
penetration should be.

Best,
