Thank you for taking the time to respond, that is unless "intricate
enumeration" is local list speak for "newbie manifesto" ;-).  Just
kidding.

If I may, briefly, touch on a few (seriously, a few) points:

something against

I hope I did not, in any way, infer that you or anyone would, as it was
not my intention.

I most assuredly did not mean for any of my opinions to be applicable to
any current Typo3 situations.  What is being done, and the level of
quality of product, with regards to all aspects of this project, not the
least of which is a very informative website, is amazing.
And I sure as heck was making no inquiries as to positions, occupants,
or "vacancies".

I would like to offer what assistance I can.

Again, I see no other way at present it could be done, and thank you for
doing it.
It also appears as though you are well on the way to outlining a
framework for future use. If we can assume that "number" equals
"geographic density", and "technical complexity" is what it is, and
"brands" (I don't know for sure what you meant), and "design quality"
equals "some measure of artistic prowess"?

I am obviously in the US, but it sounds as though Germany, with it's
stated current filtering questions, may generate the kind of situations
that will give real world insight into hypothetical requirement
implementability.  I DO NOT mean that Germany should be used as a great
big beta test.  Rather, that right now and for the foreseeable future,
Daniel, you are seeing, deciding on, and seeing the reaction to that
decision.  I urge you to look at each decision as an opportunity to rule
in or out the benefit of a certain criteria, based on that current
situation.  You are the only one that will be able to measure the
efficacy of any criteria suggested, and that can save mountains of time
by identifying "rarely applicable" from "usually a good indicator"
criteria.

In re the "less contribution" aspect, I have corresponded with Kasper
recently.

>So my suggestion might seem simple minded, but also feasible at this
point in time.

I did not mean to label anyone's suggestion "simple minded", please
forgive me if that was in any way conveyed.  Regarding feasibility, I
again offer to help in way I can.

Told you I would keep it brief!
