Not sure who posts here, or what previous discussion has been... however 
here is a reply to Anoop from the English forum...

Yeah... I cannot believe I missed timtab... I found it today before I 
read your post... great extension.

As to the non-enterprise point... I am ignorant, and just mentioned the 
idea as a means of using non-devs to get the word out. I can fully 
appreciate the fact that attracting non-developers means a huge amount 
of support. Yeah, I see that.

One other post mentioned the US popularity of ROR... and then that it 
had been hyped a lot.... then there was the rant about, 
"culture-economical monopolisms that seem to
be an essential part of the official american dream"

OK... the point is that for better or for worse, that IS the nature of 
the US business environment... one way or another, if Typo3 is to 
succeed in the US, we must face that dragon. Oh, and in the US, there 
are no central news or information distribution points like there are in 
Germany for example where there just aren't that many German language 
tech-info magazines. So, in the US, to get the word out, you need hype. 
Its obnoxious, I know... but it does in fact work.

I am willing to work on press releases if I can get an announce list 
that helps aggregate the info.
