[TYPO3-ect] ECT - teamleaders

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey all,

I'm not 100% in the ECT and what's going on there, but for me it seems 
like the ECT, mainly div/lib, missed its goal. I thought it should also 
be a starting point for migrating to 5.x, but there seems no 
communication between the teams. Also, I would love to have the ECT team 
work closer with the 4.x core team, so we can maybe integrate some cool 
things.
Then, there are IMHO some crazy ideas like "div2007" that I think are 
just plainly wrong, as it is another dependency and some more extra you 
have to juggle around with versions, incompatibilities and the 
extensions (hard enough with TYPO3 4.1 and 4.2 already after updating). 
Developing extensions make it even harder then. "This extension only 
runs with TYPO3 4.0 and div2007 and lib2008" ;-)

Why not finish div/lib and that's it then? It's been long enough in 
alpha/beta state now.

However, "cal" from the ECT is great, but as you see, it also defined 
its own MVC framework again --- why reinvent the wheel again and again 
and not collaborate? (no offense to the cal guys, I just think 
communication is important).

Again, no offense guys, but the ECT should not just coordinate 
extensions but also the development of the core teams with the 
extensions, instead of defining its own core (div/lib). Maybe one guy 
could be in 4.x, 5.x and the ECT to coordinate?

So, that's just my 2 cents -- sorry for being so direct. Now you can 
hold forth of me :)

greetings,
benni.
