I think it would be better to have a team organizing everything. I mean
a mailinglist is fine, but noone really tries to get it 'ready' for
another TYPO3 version.

Yeah. I noticed that.

I think it would be possible, that someone does that (maybe the
Extension Coordinating team?) In my opinion it's neccesary to get things
done - fast.

This is true and nice. But in the end, 4.5 is something what people
expect as "final". The order in which this version is made can be
dynamic of course. But in the end, the 'product' is TYPO3 4.5 not 4.4 or
4.3.. In my opinion this versioning is nice and keeps the TYPO3 users
waiting for the next version, but it does not make any difference to the
endversion.

The ECT could do that (maybe?!?)

Well, i'm not coming, because i currently do not have the money to
travel around. I'm waiting for a new computer ;) Don't you want to do
the next big meeting in Erfurt, Germany ;) (or in Illmenau, Dresden,
Leipzig, ....  :) )

Counting the days 'til September ;)
