[TYPO3-v4] tcaTree in current trunk

[Steffen Ritter]

Hey list,
you know we introduced tcaTree as a tree example in trunk.

Looking at the bugreports and pending patches, we see, that it has not 
been such stable as we thought of. In the current state wer are not able 
to ship this one with 4.5.
I really would like to see this fixed in in beta2 as I think it is a 
great feature. It's a long step by step process where one step is based 
on the other, because it is a about only three files which would have 
been modified everytime and I do not get reviews "in time"...

I'm at the point that I cannot work further stuffs, since it would 
depend on pending patches - and it is no external projekt but directly 
in core svn.

That's why I currently see following possibilities for this feature:

1. drop it for 4.5
2. grant FYI rights on this very task
3. drop the idea of splitting it up in dozens of rcs and make one 
monster rfc at the end (would anyone review this one)
4. develope it external and merge back like other projects do
5. stay as we are and decide before rc1 if we are "stable enough"
6. find a team working on this, which really does reviews - and at best: 
yesterday



some thoughts about all that points:

1. i really like the feature so I would not like the idea, but would be 
better than shipping current state.
2. would be transparent, and due to single rfc's easy to revert single 
steps.
3. would be the fastest way, as i just could do all i want and resolv 
several bugreports within one... would not be very transparent and it 
would be hard to revert single point or track down errors to a single 
changeset. Furthermore I fear noone would review a monster patch.
4. would be the same like 3. without review - might be good for external 
teams - as I am a one man show I do not know if this makes sense (since 
there is no "quality control" against each other)
5. i fear that this one would lead to one.
6. would be very nice but seems not realistic


Please let me know about your opinions about how to proceed with such 
feature - especially the RMs and current "tcaTree" fans :)

regards

Steffen
