thanks for your quick response.

One question: Do we need to rely on typo3/backend.php? In the good old 
times we had 2 different backend´s if i remember correctly.

This is only the second best choice in my eyes because then we will 
enter into a compromise i guess. So my first choice is a new 
typo3/skinny_backend.php with less features but a clean modern concept 
and design.

I will talk to Helmut and let me explain if this is a fool´s idea :)

Well i hope i can count you in even if we try to make a new "backend", 
thanks a lot for your offer!

Yes, fast, but in my eyes not the right direction (at the moment?)
