[TYPO3-ect] Update on Party Information Framework

[David Bruehlmeier]

Hi,

you might be wondering what has happened with the Party Information 
Framework since the kick-off at T3DD in Dietikon. Well, unfortunately, 
not very much.

Robert Lemke has informed me that it is still not known when the 
commercial project (which shall become the core-extension tx_party) is 
going to start. He is optimistic that the project will happen and has 
asked us to wait until the end of October 2006.

In my opinion, it would be a mistake not to wait on Robert, but I am 
open to hear your opinions on this point.

Due to the delay, Olly Hader has decided to change the subject of his 
diploma thesis to "Inline Relational Editing" and will therefore not be 
able to contribute to the Party Information Framework in the context of 
his diploma thesis. I fully understand his decision and wish Olly all 
the best for his new topic. Actually, I am very much looking forward to 
his results, as I am certain that they will be very valuable not only 
for the Party Information Framework but for all extensions handling 
complex data.

Personally, I am working on a concept for the migration/synchronization 
part. As soon as the results are ready for a public discussion, I will 
post again.

Sorry for all of you who are waiting for the real action to start. I 
will keep everybody informed as soon as there are any news.

Greetings,
Dave.
