Hi,

after some random thinking, I was asking my self, who defines/defined
"Surf" to be called "TYPO3 Surf", thus make it a product of the TYPO3
community and Association.

Don't get me wrong: It's not that I dislike Surf - what I've seen so far
looks nice - but it's just a matter of who can decided that (who took
the decision, if there was one already?).

Why is Surf not a product of people from our community, like all the
extensions are? What are the steps for a product to be called "TYPO3
<whatever>"? We come from a CMS community and have a PHP framework now
(which is nice, of course :-)), and we get a deployment tool, and.. ?

The Apache project is nice and a shining example, but we're not that far
that we have things like Apache Incubator or any defined process for
becoming an official product, yet, don't we?

Looking forward to your opinion and enlightenment!

Kind regards
Steffen
