[TYPO3-dev] not amused...

[Steffen Ritter]

Hey folks,
I'm just not amused about the things on core-list the last weeks/months.

There are mighty of patches which are worthy and big improovements on 
TYPO3. Many of them just miss one core review. Others are even not 
commented by any core-dev...

There seems to be some "fights" between some coredevs which do not like 
each other, not reviewing or general critizing patches from other ones.

At all at the moment there seems to be more non-core activity on 
core-list than core-team members.

To me a core-dev is sth. more than someone who only wants getting in the 
patches he/his agency are in favor of...

I know that we are all under a lot of work, some people might be on 
holidays and I know that - for many of us - core work is freetime.
BUT: I'm really concerned about TYPO3 getting "behind" and building a 
gap between "the state of art", "other systems" and whishes of the users...

If the system of a of needed core-devs votes does not work anymore or 
just by now, we have to think about it. We really need some more 
"progress" less "cat fights"...

I feel sad about how many potential is on list, ideas are around and 
people who are willingly to contribute. "Inspiring people to share"? To 
share and forget about it? As long as Participating people are not 
supported enough this is not more than an blasphemous byword...

And yes, before you gonna blame me: I did not test every patch too...

Just my 2 cents, about the the development on core list in the last 
month's. For sure, some parts mights be exaggerated, hoping people start 
thinking about it.

Have a nice first september

regards

Steffen
