Hi Jean-David,

meanwhile it is monthes a ago that, I wrote to all people that maintain
MVC or form libraries to invite them to work together. So did David when
starting the party framework project. So did Christoph when starting the
forms library. We got few answers. The Extension Coordination Team is
up in form of a NG and with a wiki page for over 1 year now so that every
active community member will be informed about this platform. The work
has been communicated in books and in T3N magazine. ECT has become
member of the R & D commitee. There are extensions of ECT visible in TER. 
What else can we do to interest developers to join in? Vistiting them at
home?

Regards

Elmar
