ah of course there is already a search implemented, which is very cool 
with extbase btw because you can search for every relation without a 
problem, e.g. the category title

done

If you take a look at 
https://svn.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Extensions/news2/trunk/Classes/Domain/Repository/NewsRepository.php

this is alread implemented because you got functions like
--------
$constraints[] = $this->getArchiveRestriction($query);
$constraints[] = $this->getCategoryRestriction($query);
$constraints[] = $this->getAdditionalCategoryRestriction($query);
-----

those are filled inside the controller (but could also be filled from 
where you get news records) with:
----------
$this->newsRepository->setCategories($this->settings['category']);
$this->newsRepository->setCategorySettings($this->settings['categoryMode']);
$this->newsRepository->setTopNewsRestriction($this->settings['topNews']);
$this->newsRepository->setArchiveSettings($this->settings['archive']);
----------

>   * configured templates should be selectable in flexform ;)

not yet done

>   * relations
> 	* cal
> 	* locations (e.g. tt_adress)
> 	* persons (e.g. tt_adress)
> 	* contentelements (best would be with rendering)

I don't see a need for those for version 1

IMO there is one extbase based comment extension. and comments should 
work out of the box. no need for news2

I asked already someone to make this possible
