TYPO3 – New maintenance policy
The TYPO3 Core Team is pleased to announce its new official maintenance policy for TYPO3 4.x.
Today the TYPO3 Core Team published its new maintenance policy on typo3.org (see link below). This translates into a nice new version matrix (thanks to Oliver Klee) that shows at a glance what is the status of all recent TYPO3 versions.
With this new information we hope that the lifecycle of each TYPO3 version will be clear to all members of the community. It should help planning upgrades for TYPO3 administrators.
This new policy also clarifies the work of both the Core Team and the Security Team, as we had - until recently - some fuzziness about which versions to keep patching and for what kind of bugs or security fixes.
We hope that you will appreciate this increased clarity.

typo3.org Relaunch
Relaunching typo3.org is finally on a solid road to success. d.k.d Internet Service GmbH from Frankfurt, Germany has been given the task to officially manage the project and handle the first step to implement the new design.
In December punkt.de provided a clone of the current typo3.org site and an analysis of content, structure and code has been done already.
In February Jens Hoffmann (TYPO3 Usability Team Leader) will present the designs and layouts to the TYPO3 Association for confirmation. As soon as the designs are confirmed, dkd will implement the new designs.
Agencies and freelancers wishing to participate in making the future typo3.org more feature rich and usable are invited to contact Søren Schaffstein (soe...@typo3.org) who is coordinating the project. Agencies who accepted a work package in the past will be contacted soon and asked if they still want to work on this project.
To coordinate all tasks a new Forge-project has been set up. Available work packages, coding guidelines and instructions how to contribute will be posted there.

TYPO3 Hooks Tutorial
Some days ago I needed to extends tt_news for adding some required features.
While googling, I found this cute tutorial, using the extension wfqbe as exemple.
Helpful knowledge: You should know the basics of extension building (creating a new extension with the kickstarter should suffice), if you haven’t worked with wfqbe so far you should get to know the extension first. wfqbe requires some basic SQL skills.
