[TYPO3-50-general] TypoScript 2.0 and Relax NG

[Sebastian Kurfuerst]

Hey Martin,

sorry that nobody of us was answering for such a long time.... We 
appreciate your ideas and we thought about this as well.

We have some ideas how to store configuration in the Content Repository, 
and we thought of reusing the hierarchical structure in the CR for 
TypoScript as well. Basically, the data could then be rendered to 
"TypoScript" for editing, but as well to XML, where a Relax NG 
definition could be available then.

Yes, we had this in mind :-) Great to see that you had the same idea, too!


We are not yet at the point where we should define TypoScript - but we 
will of course keep that in mind.

Thanks for your comments, they are really appreciated.
Greets,
