they don't get integrated because most things don'T belong to the core.
this should be a smaller place and for me I would *hate* to have the
news extension in the core because it means I can just deliver with a
core release, can't have sometimes a bit buggier code in the master and
so on

you can't force a community. I won't sign such a contract for news
either. In 5 years, I guess I have kids and maybe not that much time for
TYPO3, ... maybe ..

> Imho to many extensions get developpwd with nearly the same featuresets. a waste of time! Much better would be to have dedicated teams i. e login registration subscription

Hm... I hardly use extensions from TER because they are most time to
limiting and I do it myself again. (most of the time not published
because too customer related)

> get the news out with cyberhouse and georg. dont waste time in improving ttnews

tt_news still got some feature which ext:news doesn't but for me (and
many others) it is the far better choice. Still: Many extensions depend
on the swiss knife and extended it, it is not that easy to switch then
to something different.

just to get that right: ext:news has nothing to do with the company I am
working at.

and yes: paid support is a perfect thing to help!


back to direct_mail / registration: most of us use at least direct_mail.
what about a code sprint next year and make it better? someone got a room?
