I need to disagree with you here. After having volunteered for a few
years in T3 marketing, I have spent a number of hours correcting authors
about their misinformation about TYPO3, sometimes even arguing with them
for their outlandish claims. At times, it is nothing more than some
information based on the author's lack of knowledge about the software,
but still that hurts T3's reputation, especially for people who are just
starting to look into using it. Since I'm a point of contact in the US,
you would not believe how upset people can get (and they do and have)
when they read incorrect information, like what was in that article.

I do think there is something to be learned here. This project was
started to market T3 in the US. Why not show the article here before
having it published? Having a few more pairs of eyes look over it can't
hurt and makes my job easier, especially if I get emails about it later
on. It's actually much more difficult to correct an article after it's
been published.
