you didn't get the shafts of satire in my sentence, I believe...

Jigal has already written, that there are many more ways to contribute 
to TYPO3, not only programming. Even simply *using* it, is one of them. 
It spreads the word, one more user, one more enthusiast. And not one 
less, and then the other one, as it happens now.

You are young, you are enthusiastic and I believe you are very well 
skilled. But you lack in one thing which turns mediocre things into 
outstanding things, and this is called *experience*.

It seems that you have never anything to do with these totally 
unnecessary people like *customers* (shafts of satire!) who ask you 
questions on an almost daily basis: "Why still use TYPO3? This seems, 
according to the public discussion, to be a system which has no future. 
Even its developers seem to have very little ideas of the direction 
where this is going." You need of course to make a step *outside* your 
agency, community or whatever you stick with, in order to hear this.

Now, what do I answer them? I was telling them, that TV will continue, 
even in TYPO3 version 6. Now it's not. Now they need to pay more, since 
they can't continue sending me ready-made HTML templates together with 
the CSS files. Now, a programmer or at least a skilled person is 
necessary, who costs additional money. Now, how do I convince that 
customer to pay more, just to get the same and for only one reason: To 
continue using TYPO3. I leave it up to you to answer that.

Best regards
