Hello Michael,
I have already started to extend the original tt_products and I will 
continue this the next weeks and even months. Later I want to bring in 
other additions from the tt_products derivates listed above. If you 
agree, I would coordinate this, so also others can bring in their work.

We can make an entry in http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Ext_tt_products 
where everyone can make additions list of importance which features 
should be copied into tt_products at first. Just edit your wish to the 
wishlist and order it by importance.

Do we have any existing shop data with which we can test if the changes 
did not affect them? I think this has been the main reason why nobody 
cared about making additions to tt_products but developed a new 
extension instead of it. With this he did not have to pay attention to 
compatibility and testing.
