Hello Jan-Hendrik,

I am happy to read something from you, I already thought I would only
write for myself in this place.

That is what I am also hoping for. We have got a mailing list, we have
preperad extensions to place the code into. We only need to act now.

Well with some kind of concept, but we can make a concept only if
people take part and support this.

2 days seems a bit optimistic to activate people. But if you give  a
few more days we could email them to visit a virtual meeting.

We should learn from others, but we probably need to implement it the
TYPO3 way, for several reasons.

TYPO3 is a typical larger framework and provides us with most we need.
The main proplem is a cryptical syntax and that it badly supports
object orientated extension programmings.
