You must be referring to the poor English because:
   1) I don't have any way to bring back the  support system.
   2) I did not have access to help fix the search engine.  who knows if 
I might have.
   3) I am not a psychologist, so fixing bad 'RTFM' attitudes is also 
not possible.

In retrospect the poor English is the least of the problems so I retract 
my statements about it.
However there is no incentive to post fixes since they are 
ignored/overlooked.  i.e. Note the date of the "user annotations" and 
then when this document was "last updated": 
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/doc_core_api/Introduction-61729c8ee2/

I'm not trying to piss anyone off Olivier.  I'm stating facts... the 
oh-so-popular "it's open source, stop whining and do it yourself" crap 
isn't what anyone is looking for when they post a question... we know 
it's open source... we know it's based on user contribution... holy cow 
we know!  but if a user contributes "Hey ya spelled it wrong" 3 months 
ago, then it's updated without that being taken into consideration, 
leaving the spelling error... well I'll let you decide for yourself how 
that makes the user feel and how it makes the upper echelon of Typo3 look.

Oh! have I mentioned recently that Typo3 is, by far, the best O/S CMS 
I've come across?
