Hi!

I am searching for an easy way to *just read* the code of extensions
in TER. For example to see how some extension did something.

This has repeatedly proven to be a hard task: Not all extensions have
well-maintained repositories. The archives that can be downloaded are
t3x-archives, which are not easy to unpack (compared to *.tar.gz,
*.zip, ...). Searching google or github does not really help either in
some cases.

So the only reliable and "fast" thing is to download and install the
extension into a TYPO3 installation. But there, the Extension manager
starts to complain about dependencies or downloads a ton of
dependencies. Not an ideal solution either.

Would it be feasible to have the code of any extension in any version
ever uploaded to TER available for browsing somewhere? For example in
an automatically created github-repository, were each commit is one
release? Or something self-built?

Regards,
Jost
