Full ACK!

Another thing to mention is the "Configuration" Module. It does not only 
just SHOW (without an direct way to change it) the Typo3 configuration, 
either it is not the only configuration of Typo3 (TypoScript, TSconf) 
available. The real module for configurating the typo3conf is the 
"Installation" Module, which is actually an installer plus a full 
featured configuration editor (which is just fine but misplaced). As a 
beginner in Typo3 I was very confused about the fact, that there is no 
intuitive interface for the configuration of Typo3. All the available 
configuration is widely spread around the whole system. You can find 
something in the installer, the other stuff in TSconf and so on.

Everybody is used to *one* central module for configuration.

Hope you understand my quite bad English (thank god for the spell 
checker!) :-)
