Hello,

is this page
http://typo3.org/teams/extension-coordination-team/
still correct? Or is this outdated info?

lib/div, xajax (Elmar Hinz)  ... As fas as I have seen Elmar Hinz is not
available.

Party Information Framework (David Brühlmeier) ... Doesn't the WEC do this?

Hello Franz and all,

yes, shure, Elmar didn't react since many months. And we cannot blame
him, because he always said that his leaderships would end at 31th of
December 2007. We just didn't believe it ;-)

So after 6 months it would be good to vote for a new team-leader and
create a forge-teampage. In my team (DocTeam) the forge-page is helping
us very much.

As candidates I see:
* you, Franz Holzinger
* David Toshack (Enhanced Rights Management in the wiki, Mail Framework)
* Søren Andersen
* Christoph Koehler from WEC
* Christian Welzel (kickstarter__mvc)

Cheers!
Daniel

Wow, didn't know my name was still on the Forms library. I haven't
worked on that in years. I think Jerome Schneider's formidable is a
good forms lib and used by many, with active development. So if you
can please take my name off, that would be nice. There hasn't been any
activity for a long time.

And WEC is indeed doing the Party Information Framework.

Thanks!

Christoph

Hello,

what do you think, if I start next week creating a forge-project for
ECT? ;-) But to clarify: I would not be the leader, just a member.

It would be worth to redefine the goals of the ECT.

I found 2 pages about that:
http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/ECT/Homepage
http://typo3.org/teams/extension-coordination-team/

Which projects are still alive? Some project could be remove from the list.
http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/ECT/Homepage#ProjectsTable_.2B_Goals

As it seems to have no more energy going into the lib/div framework, I would suggest to help
Jochen's effort with

http://forge.typo3.org/projects/show/extension-gimmefive


> what do you think, if I start next week creating a forge-project for

And what project are you thinking about?

Hi,

the goal of ECT was to have a platform, where teams are build to develop
extensions instead of 10 extensions doing all the same.
I don't see ECT as a project for forge, it's more a communication channel.

In the past ECT was more a support forum for lib/div, what wasn't the
purpose of ECT.

So imho ECT can live without a declared leader, it should be ruled by the
devs here.

Hello,

in my view a moderator is needed, maybe that's the best word for it. ECT
has started as an OVERVIEW of current ongoings - and a mailinglist (I
mean technically) cannot do this. lib/div was ONE project of ECT, one of
several ones. For me forge is not "SVN with a bugtracker", out of my
view it's a team-platform.

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.

What is the scope of such a role?

Some suggestions about tasks assigned to the moderator / ECT leader :

- have a global overview of the different team and projects,
- encourage developers to coordinate their effort,
- maintain the different wiki / typo3.org pages up to date.

It looks like the moderator needs some good communication skills more than technical!

That's my opinion too... and the benefit goes to everyone.

Well... for many, it's often a question of time. Unfortunately, at the moment, I don't have enough
realistic time to invest.

Furthermore, I see a lot of potential in gimmefive

Yes, but this kind of work is certainly harder. As I far as I have understood, lib/div is supposed
to be a light framework without dependency with the past.

That's maybe for some historical reasons. At the time, I am not sure lib/div existed.

in forge we can use several categories for the coordination-efforts:
* coord. MVC-frameworks and standards
* coord. Ajax-frameworks and standards
* coord. templating-renderers
* coord. general libraries (e.g. div2007)
* coord. Calendars
* coord. Form-libraries
* coord. export/import (PDF, ODF, DocBook)
* coord. payment-libraries
* coord. auth-libraries

These categories would NOT be coding-efforts, this would be
coordination-efforts.

##Who does see the point that I mean?

it's easy: the ECT was born in the wiki because the wiki was the only
usable platform at that time. And I really know what is in the wiki. The
team-page on typo3.org was made by Steffen and me and is a excerpt from
the wiki-pages.

=> in my view as wiki-maintainer it IS important to move from wiki to
forge. and again: lib/div is just ONE project of ECT.

I think we need a number of roles to fully complement the
responsibilities of extension coordination. Organization of roles and
responsibilities within the ECT will hopefully bring more pull in
getting the quality up and the quantity down of TYPO3 extensions.

What I would like to propose is that we start with some brainstorming of
possible ECT responsibilities based on the mission statement[1].

Remember, this is brainstorming so don't be shy. Feel free to throw
something, even just to see if it sticks. If its not suitable enough for
ECT it can always be suggested to the Association team for delegation.

Once we have a list of responsibilities we can group them into roles to
manage them. Possibly with some sort of hierarchy so that we can have
even the smallest (managed) roles leaving nothing to slip between the
cracks of these voluntary limited roles.

This is a great start. I'll create a new thread for these responsibilities.

I do. I definitely believe there should be an ECT team(s) and projects
on the forge site. It would also be nice to encapsulate T3N's Extension
Comparison team[2] into the ECT which could benefit both teams.

I think this would require the forge site to be better organized. Maybe
with more project hierarchy. I like the idea of specific project
categories like Drupal's module categories[3].

Although it may require a bit of recruiting; I believe there are enough
TYPO3 _users_ out there to assign people to roles and responsibilities
for each and every one of these extension categories.

Even if the assignment of these roles change often I think with the
right role hierarchy we can manage to keep many of these type of minor
roles filled by TYPO3 users of _any_ capacity.

+1 In fact I see great benefit in moving a lot of the content from the
TYPO3 wiki in general into the forge site.

Me too. Fabien, what do you think about incorporating gimmefive
functionality into lib/div? So that lib/div functionality can be used
for v. 4 and simply ignored to use FLOW3 functionality in v. 5?

This would be an even better intermediary than gimmefive alone, but I
fear this may complicate more than it simplifies. What do you think
about this?

+1! I would like to see the day when the "official typo3" extensions are
treated with similar importance as core extensions.

I would also like to see the day when projects like cal are handled
completely through the ECT. Including delegating tasks to other TYPO3
teams[4]. This is definitely within our grasp and I for one would like
to help make this a reality.

David

Hello David,

yes, a number of roles is a very good idea, so it's no problem when
somebody has to leave for a while and others want to help.

what's with that:
* care for documentation & forge-team-area
* moderator
* connector for each topic ("encourage developers", see my last list +
team-extcomp, core4, core5, news-team, T3N, association-team)

Important: just ONE forge-project because we would loose overview if we
had a bunch of ECT-forge-projects. Just one forge-project within the
list "Others". Every coordination-effort can exist in it's own category.
This works very well in DocTeam!
http://forge.typo3.org/projects/show/other

The drupal website is offline this morning, so I could not look at this.

Well... it does not make sense for me. Gimmefive and lib/div are different framework and have
different approaches. Gimmefive has a top/down construction and is going to change (a lot?) since it
has a strong relation with FLOW3.

For example, both use the MVC pattern but their implementation are different. (file organization,
file loading etc...)

Only a ECT teamleader could do so. div/lib is for providing a class
collection to replace the _pibase_ class which is not developed any
further by the TYPO3 Core team. And of course it goes to PHP5 and
provides a MVC. However it has stuck in alpha phase.

No this is wrong. The div2007 has become necessary because the API of
div might still change a lot. And TYPO3 is not able to have more than
one version of an extension installed at the same time.
Otherwise it would not be possible to use 2 different extensions which
relied on different div APIs. So you could not download the latest
version of an extension if you need other extensions depending on div
which have not been updated any more.

There seems to be no developer group any more for div/lib. And I think
that div/lib should still be changed a lot. More functionality should
come into it.

What do you mean exactly? Should the FLOW3 be used instead of lib/div in
the future? But where should the functions of lib/div come then? Will
new requirements of extensions and patches come into TYPO3 Core, but
where? The response time in the Core list is very long in some cases.
And the time between new TYPO3 versions with an enhanced API is very
long. It takes many months until a new class would be put into the next
TYPO3 version. But if you develop an extension than you require that a
new function is available after a very short time. So I fear that no
coordinated development of extensions would be possible, because
everyone would still continue to write his own function API and classes.

I'm not sure what you had in your coffee this morning, but I suggest you
don't put it in there tomorrow again...

Yes, that is the point.
We need a library extension like lib/div to where all code can be put
which is needed in most extensions and which will be used instead of the
pibase TYPO3 class.
We can add more specific extension libraries which are needed by a
smaller number of exensions.

- contact all extension developers to contribute to the ECT extensions.
They shall give up their own extension libraries and move their written
code into these ECT library extensions. The ECT coordinator should do
this move or give the guidelines how to do so.

- Also copy and improve code from the TYPO3 core on which the further
development has been frozen.

- Change the code and API and release new versions of the library
extensions. (refactoring) Make many releases, because the developers
want to see their methods very soon in the TYPO3 TER.

But you would also need a group of persons who take care of the code.
So a separate ECT code decisions and code review team will be needed.

A ECT coordinator must survey on these teams. If no work is done and a
leader disappears then another one must be found after a short time.

Some decision must be made which MVC extension sto use. So maybe a
redesign of lib/div should be started to fit all needs. Then this should
be used as the base MVC sytem for most TYPO3 extensions. cal should be
one of the exensions which use this.

Hello Franz,

I think we need several coordinators. You're the best for the lib/div
framework. Seems so that nobody can coordinate all TYPO3-projects what
needs any kind of common API. ;-)

Do we reach a consensus on it now?

by the way: A nice trip-hop radio-station is this:

Cheers!

So what is the common opinion of the extension developers?

1) The div/lib should still be developed in the ECT. It will be
refactored as much as needed and considered usefull.
2) The div/lib should be moved now into TYPO3 Core and only Core
developers will make decisions on it.
3) A completely new MVC framework shall be developed instead of lib/div.
4) Another MVC framework extension shall be taken und developed instead
of lib/div. All current code of lib/div will be put there.

I vote for 1) if no good proposal for another already working MVC
extension is made. I would leave it in alpha state. The API is open to
changes with losing compatibility amongst different versions if the
second version number is different.

It is necessary to see if there is still interest on lib/div as a ECT
extension.

Is there anyone else who wants to coordinate it under the ECT?

please ask this in a NEW thread, because it's an important question.

my opinion:
NOW for the current extensions: 1)
for FUTURE extensions (in 1 year?) as alternative: 4) FORGE-MVC

All current code of lib/div will be put there.
My Opinion: 
I
go with number 2 but with the following notes:
Development should
continue to be done in current  lib/div ALPHA, the core version may be
versioned from the Alpha and only core team may commit it to
core.
The Alpha version will be the "forge" for upcoming
core version and may be developed  together by core and ETC.
LIB/DIV
would be a optional* install in core and a new standard for MVC
programming in TYPO3 version 4 . The main tutorials should be updated so
new developers start to now the existence of this new paradigm. This shoud
give a new breath to young typo3 developers and we should see the upcoming
of new extensions based on MVC.
*IMPORTANT: Do not forget the mvc
kickstarter extension, the core team should check a way for a transparent
include of this feature as well (optional or not this is a question for
debate by the big Typo3 Gurus ).
The lib/div/kickstarter  trio can
become a MVC standard in typo3 (althougth there are others ex Ameos.
