[TYPO3-UG US] TYPO3.us Project

[Tyler Kraft]

Hi Michelle

With interest I follow this list. Simply for the fact that I am involved 
(user, private promoter, web developer) with typo3 here in the UK, but 
being Canadian it is not inconceivable that at some point I may return 
to The Great White North and it would be handy to know how the T3 
project goes in NA and who is involved with it, and in what way.

It's not a very nice picture you've painted. Interestingly enough from 
all you've written you seem like a well informed and professional 
individual, and the ideal type of person who we/I want to have promoting 
the software. Scarily though no one seems to have had the foresight or 
thought to ask why you feel the way you do, as described above - and to 
my mind that is scary because it shows a lack within the community of 
trying to solve the problem, and only adds an air of truth to the 
comments you've made regarding others actions.

Like you I am just a user and developer with the CMS, and in no way am I 
tied to the core or any other part of the 'system' that is typo3  - my 
involvement extends as far as being a mailing list user and an 
association member (as it is the simplest way that I can support 
development). So as a user I'm hoping that perhaps you might share, by 
PM if you'd prefer, why you feel you can not promote typo3 any longer? 
What has changed your attitude and feelings so strongly?

I sincerely hope to hear back from you,a s that may be the only way to 
learn what you see as the problems and possible how to resolve them.

All the best in your future endeavours,
Tyler
