Jigal,

I did see this on a couple of extension when I was looking for manuals.

I know about the solutions, but some people don't care.
for the face of TYPO3 towards the cooperate world
it doesn't look like if TYPO3 is 'up to the task'.

It's hard to explain to to some people that if TYPO3.org
looks/functions like crap sometimes it can really do there job,
they where saying 'Well, the people behind TYPO3 should
beable to fix it quite easy, yet ....... bl a bla bla... And I have
to agree with them to some extend.
