This extension produces “Person Lists” to show on your website. These can be your company staff, friends, club-members or which persons you need.
You might think, this could be solved by using the TYPO3 (FE/BE) User-Objects. That's right for some situations. But it wasn't for my situation. Our company wanted to show something around 130 persons, organized in many groups and sub-groups. The main problem was: These persons were no TYPO3 users.
There were some other extensions that do this job also. But they lacked some functionality we wanted to have. As an example: One extension could only show all records from a given starting point. No filtering or selection was possible. This works for some situations, when every person belong to exactly ONE organizational unit. But where I work, there are persons that belong to one, two and some important persons belong to five or six groups. How to select that? It's not possible (OK, there's one way: create multiple records of the same persons - so that's no way).
That's why I decided to try to develop this extension. I'm no programmer in my daily business. If you find an error in this extension, I would be happy to hear from you, so that I can try to repair/correct this extension.
And now: Happy working with my first extension ever! Have fun!

Another big “thank you” goes to the Berufsbildungszentrum Dietikon (www.bzd.ch) that spent some of my work-time for developing this extension.
Also big thanks go to Oliver Klee, Lars Houmark and Rupert Germann for giving some advice! And last but not least I'd like to thank my brother Claudio for designing the new dummy images (the cowboy and his wife) that I included in version 0.2.5.
