[Typo3-marketing] RFI: Recommendations for Typo3 PR-work ?

[Kari Salovaara]

Ok, I try to answer Your questions.

First of all, I didn't get any recommendations only questions !
This describes the culture of the community.

"Agreement" was from the beginning of Typo3 development that default 
language is English. This has changed slowly into German. Not only in 
these marketing efforts but quite often also in extension development 
(also some times Spanish). By the "revolution" I'm meaning the situation 
of the Germanizerung (historical term, created by "native" people). For 
my surprise the is also extension documentation in German as default 
(and only) language.
Actually I can so much even German that I can translate it quite 
well(!), but when You have to use 3-4 languages daily otherwise, one 
more would be too much for me (I'm a little older than You guess).

When Daniel wrote:

	I guess You had quite many persons in "final")
You can understand that, during these years I've been involved into 
Typo3, only one person (Tom Ingberg) has been helping in any way. All 
other Finns are only parasites and I don't want to support commercial 
use of Typo3 by helping them any more. They earn money and I get poorer. 
That's OSS meaning in Finland (land of Linux and Nokia, most mobile / 
pers., most ADSL / pers., etc.). We are also a small country and it's 
nice and easy to walk over.

Also of co-operation; some of the ideas (eg. discussed with Mr.K.) have 
realized, but many ideas have been totally forgotten or they have never 
been answered. I haven't even got any response.

And there is much more things. Also I'm disappointed my personal efforts 
due I don't have time enough to work full time voluntarily for Typo3, 
only the translations and some testing (commenting to developers 
straightly).


So for my side I stop this thread and Typo3, changing my role to a 
parasite. I'll do everything until 3.8.0 will be released but then ...

Thanks from the past years,

Bye,
Kari
