[TYPO3-templavoila] TemplaVoila >< classic page module

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey Tapio,

well, I just don't get it. You always complain about TemplaVoila and how 
bad and unusable it is. Please go on, use your solution, and propose it 
as a complete extension or whatsoever, write a "Next-Generation Template 
Building" tutorial to set things up, and once your solution gets 
popular, people won't use TemplaVoila anymore. But until then, I think 
TemplaVoila gives me everything I need, and, until then I don't need a 
couple of complains every week on this list how unusable TV is.

TYPO3 gives everybody freedom to choose (choose the extensions you like 
and prefer).

The installation you showed us goes in another direction - editing and 
using the TYPO3 Backend for the "classic page module" in a different 
way. This has nothing to do directly with the TemplaVoila solution. If 
you look at the HCI-list, you will see that there are tons of proposals 
on how to edit the content in the backend so that it will be "more usable".

greetings,
benni.
