Just in case anyone is tempted to believe you and because you were asking
for it so badly, here is some research to prove that you not only wrong, but
that this also plain hypocrisy.

On 27th of November you had promised the following:

<snip>
>I would be very interested in a full description of the functionality you

>Can you spare the time and describe the details of your real life

I have the same needs for the system I am doing now. I'll post a link to
this list when it is ready with a description of what functionality I
needed when I did it.

Regards,

Michael.

remember your Email of december 8th?

<snip>
>After months there is still nothing coming from you.
>Then the discussion in this tread was indeed pointless and you have proven

Deadline 15th december. I won't be ready until then. Sorry.

>With regard to "valuable input", I hope that the stuff I have written

>with an example. Thats coming right up.

>Is that the impression you would like to leave us with?

>Make up your minds and deliver, or don't waste anyones time in the future
>with empty promises.

See above.

You have yourself offered help other than code, this was very much welcomed.
Well, after months we can be almost certain, that there is nothing to expect
from you than traffic on this list. You do seem to enjoy reading your stuff
after all.

Back to your claim: for an incomplete list of ways to "actually contribute",
many of them being totally code-free, see:

http://typo3.org/projects/teams-and-projects/

Since it involves work, i should not be surprised you have not volunteered
anywhere and are not listed. Well, then may be in the coding dept?

http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/search/

Results = 0

Working experience? Promotion for TYPO3?

http://typo3.org/about/consultancies-hosting/consultancies/358/?encryptionKe
y=&tx_t3consultancies_pi1%5Bpointer%5D=0&cHash=fdc3d30ddc

Nada.

But surely you have been helping out in the main mailing lists?

16 threads total
Complaining: 4
Own Questions: 10
Helping out others: barely 2

Well, may be you really didn't find a way to help, but looking at your
history, it looks like you either can't or you don't want to. Frankly there
is not only no way of not knowing about it, there is also the fact that you
have simply failed to deliver. Don't even dream about getting away with
this.

You have a really impressive track record in the "not-keeping-your-promises"
dept and make everyone else look like a beginner in the smartassing section.
Want your own team, or is it still a project?

Do me a favour and don't speak of contribution. You're a fraud and you know
it.

Farewell, get a life,

Daniel
