[TYPO3-ttnews] Thoughts about news2

Hi, Georg,

Oh, that's a pitty. "from-to" spans and "registration" are indeed 
feature that have nothing to do with news, but an "event date" was 
always sth I considered as extremely important...

That's the Typo3 out-of-the-box feature, when you're in the list module. 
I know that one.

But the tt_news 3.x BE module doesn't offer that. In my opinion it is 
actually redundant, on the other hand, if it's there, it should be able 
to do more...

Any chance I can interest you in the event date discussion??? :-)
