Hi Thomas,

is the current situation of unpayed security reviews satisfying? What has
made it's way to the list of reviewed extensions? And for what motivations?

If someone from outsite takes this list of reviewed extensions:

http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/reviewed/

he must get a very strange impression from TYPO3.

That is the result of non-payed reviews. Imagine a university that doesn't
pay the profs because of your argument. Profs would fully depend on the
money and influence of industry.

If the association want's security reviews to assure the security of TYPO3,
they must also provide the necessarry instruments to reach this target.
