Shure, but I have to say that I'm more a coding designer then a 
designing coder - so the quality of the code might not be that good. But 
it could serve as basis.

I can't tell what is better - trac or CVS - haven't worked with one of 
them yet.

The shortcuts can be set with kickstarter as they are only a alias for a 
db-table for easier marker-markup, like:
- ###VALUE::PERSON:NAME### stands f.e. for tx_myext_persons.name
- ###VALUE::LANG:ISO2CODE### could stand for the person related field
   iso2code of a left-joined language-table (like static_info_tables).

Not all stuff I coded has to have general use or has to make any sense - 
all this stuff was made in a rush for an underpayed job - so it had to 
be quick and dirty.

Well, it's not a real framework yet I guess (what defines a framework?) 
and the next few days I'll not have the time to do so, but in general I 
think they are almost seperated - if you mean by that, that fetching the 
data and processing the template are seperated. I can upload one of my 
extensions on my webspace if that would help. But I would have to make a 
text-extension to merge all the functions - and therefor I don't have 
the time now. But after wendnesday I'll should find some time.
