[TYPO3-ttnews] extending news

[Stefano Cecere]

Hi Georg and news friends

is there any update on this topic? (now that 4.7 is near)
i'm using news in a big site (my patches will arrive soon!) and now i  
really _have_ :( to extend the news model with a pair of new objects

the two possibilities i think i can do (since i don't want to go back to  
tt_news) are:
1) to fork news and keep a customized version
2) create a custom news model (+ repo and cntrl) in my own extension, and  
"map" it onto news default one

anyone has done something like that?
thanks
s
