Community-Extension? Looking for supporters and sponsors!

[Marc Bastian Heinrichs]

Hi list,

every now and than I got requests concerning the possibility of
programming so-called "social communities" within TYPO3.
According to my investigation there are different not very
promising approaches.
On the one hand there are some basic approaches without realistic and
specified roadmaps yet. On the other hand there are two concrete
projects which are being programmed for specific situations and their
current state of development doesn't permit to speak of "the T3
community ext".

Being specialised in creating websites in TYPO3, my agency would like
to initiate the development of an "ideal" community ext. My agency is
ready to invest some of our working time into this project. Moreover one
of our costumers is interested in sponsoring part of the project. To
make a long story short: we need further people who want to share the
workload as well as the costs.

Is anybody interested in supporting the development of a community
extension?
Or do know of some sponsors who are interested in supporting TYPO3
staying competitive within the community-website sector?

We are looking forward in receiving your feedback.

Hi Marc,

please take a look at

https://typo3xdev.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/typo3xdev/tx_mklvcommunity/trunk/

that is my code for the community extension so far. If you think, it's
interesting, perhaps there is a chance for a cooperation. Some money
could make the world go round a little faster :-)

Regards

Michael

Hi Marc,

thats nice to read and i just have to say, that I was thinking about sponsors to
support some developers. I also could try to get some money and would support
this. Its not much, but if we get some more people, then this could be a good
start. Currently i checked http://www.boonex.com/products/dolphin/ . Quite
interesting product, but again stuff is missing to be perfect or even to be
usefull enough on some parts for us. But a good idea to see, what is available
for free on the market. I installed this one and tested it and there are some
really nice ideas inside of it.
Anyway. Something on TYPO3 would be perfect. The big question is, in which way
and how the community extensions should be implemented and work together and
which roadmap could be possible. Of course it depends on the money, but maybe to
get an idea, how much time and money would be needed and how the result would
be. Did you checked the WIKI with ideas from some users of this group? Which
kind of experiences does your agency has with development of TYPO3 Extensions?
Sadly I have no time for starting to develope stuff for TYPO3. I really would
like, but I also need some hours for sleeping ;-). But maybe I can help with
some money. A bit. For me its important, that someone would lead the different
developers and subprojects, to get a perfect and flexible result.

Keep us informed!
