Since the last North American Conference in Québec in Summer many things happened within the TYPO3 Community. A short recap about the things influencing the TYPO3 CMS in the last year and why the development activity dropped to a 6-year-low.
It will outline the changes which have been implemented to restructure the core team as well as introduce you to a draft of a vision document the active contributors of the TYPO3 CMS have been working on and which probably will guide our development for the next year.
In the end a short look at the short term roadmap - TYPO3 CMS 6.2 LTS - outlining the main goals and time schedule.

24. Main Goals
• Smooth Migration
• User Happiness
• Robust, Stable and Secure Foundation
• Modern Technologies / Interoperability
25. Main Goals
• Smooth Migration
We know about the huge 4.5 LTS user-base. Let those be
able to migrate to the new modern code-base as easy as
possible.
• User Happiness
• Robust, Stable and Secure Foundation
• Modern Technologies / Interoperability
26. Main Goals
• Smooth Migration
• User Happiness
We want to work on the product from the users point of
view (customer, agency, integrator). Making their
experience fun and consistent should guide our efforts.
• Robust, Stable and Secure Foundation
• Modern Technologies / Interoperability
27. Main Goals
• Smooth Migration
• User Happiness
• Robust, Stable and Secure Foundation
The groundwork of TYPO3 should be modern, but still
realistic and timeless.
Let's finish the "last 20%" for important loose ends.
• Modern Technologies / Interoperability
28. Main Goals
• Smooth Migration
• User Happiness
• Robust, Stable and Secure Foundation
• Modern Technologies / Interoperability
We are well aware of what's going on in the PHP world and
Web technologies in general. Keep TYPO3 in sync with
modern technologies, but avoid "experiments" in the LTS.
