I guess it's more lack of management, lack of motivation and a lot of
procrastination that has been getting in the way of the former approaches.
This is why I said, we have to show that we really do mean it seriously this
time to persuade both, investors and developers, that it might be worth
investing time and/or money in such a project.

The tagpack is a good example for this approach, since it has partly been
sponsored with development and/or money by end customers and agencies, just
because they saw that it already fit a higher percentage of their needs for
certain projects and that it is actively supported by a team of developers.

> And when is 4.5 planned to be released?

AFAIR the core team and the T3A agreed to set the release cycle to 6 month
after the release of 4.3 finally will have happened, to avoid the a similar
delay we had between 4.2 and 4.3.

So a rough estimation would be end of 2010, which will give as about 12
months to get this done.

Sounds reasonable to me
