Author's Side Note

 

I have devoted a large part of my site to the mail list and its guidelines and rule as this is the ‘pulse’ of Typo3. The following sections are what binds, evolves and holds the community together.

 

The Mail lists and discussion areas are the feedback loop which generates communication. It is like the communal waterhole where information exchange binds the community.

 

The Newsgroups aids this communication by assisting in the flow of relevant information to the right people. This is like the local newspaper

 

The Repository is the ‘reward center’ of all interaction. It is like the communal fire where hunger is satisfied. It is interesting to see how many modules and add-on’s have been created that relate to community building and maintaining.

 

The documentation is like the library where the community’s history is recorded.

The Typo3 Community

 

Overview

It is amazing how much the Typo3 community has developed over the last 5 years. Initially there were no rules or guidelines, topics were mixed and it was pretty much a case of dive in and somehow it would all work out. Like all communities that grow it started developing a structure and form.

 

Due the fundamental principles on which the technology was created the system is self perpetuating and as a result tends to be self organizing. True Typo3 does have a primary or hard core community group but it is not a closed group. The ‘hard core’ of the community tend to hold the major structure together by co-coordinating cut off points for ‘upgrade definition’ or rework of the ‘look and feel’ of the typo3 community and CMS web site but the community communication, module development and contribution are all totally organic in nature.

 

Members powers within the group are directly related to their contribution to the community as a whole.
