Very nice, thanks!

You should know that there has been an extensive discussion on
this page:
http://typo3blogger.de/die-marke-typo3-erfindet-sich-neu/ 
Unfortuneately it's all in german. But it leaves me as a good
willing supporter demotivated and frustrated behind.

François, it's so much different in this mailing list and in the
Documentation team:

- We don't always agree.
- But each of us is mainly concentrating on the ideas of the
others that could bring us further.
- the tone is respectful. We don't blame or accuse each other in
general.
- if somebody in the world of TYPO3 users complains about a
problem he has with documentation we mainly concentrate on: How
can we help? What can we do better? Do we provide good ways for
communication?
- we offer clear ways to address the documentation team
- Ideas are mentioned in the list and evaluated in some way by the
others
- we write things down (forge, wiki, list archive)
- we invite others to share their opinion
- we talk about tasks in (skype) meetings
- we invite others to just listen in a meeting - they aren't
forced to take over tasks
- we publish minutes of meetings
- we're trying as much as possible keep the written history of how
decisions and solutions evolved.

As a result working here is a pleasure for me. And it is a
positive example worth being noted in detail here.

@all:

And at the same time it's what I can think I can demand from those
who make big decisions about TYPO3 somehow in the background. I
don't even know how to name and address them. So don't blame me
for calling the "background circles".

Of course you ("the background circles") can't publish internal
things in the public: But please sit down and think. Leave away
everything you don't like from what I wrote. Forget about that.
But try to think what you CAN do to pick up the ideas of better
communication. The TYPO3 community needs that and is longing for
it.

... still dreaming a little dream, very little these days ...

some other list
