Summary of the Four Selected Ideas
- Simon Schaufelberger uses a €7,500 budget to develop more Rector and Fractor rules for TYPO3 v13 and v14 by Q2/2025, aiming for faster and cheaper upgrades through automated migrations.
- Simon Praetorius has been granted €7,500 to integrate native component-based frontend development directly into Fluid by the end of Q2/2025. This will streamline the creation and reuse of UI elements within TYPO3.
- To ensure a smoother transition for new developers deploying TYPO3 projects from local environments to live servers, €10,000 has been granted to Bjoern Huber for enhancing the official documentation by the end of Q2/2025.
- For a comprehensive analysis and modernization assessment of TYPO3's translation system, comparing it to industry standards, €10,000 has been granted to Olivier Dobberkau, with the goal of providing recommendations and a roadmap for improvements by the end of Q2/2025.
The winners will now start to work on their projects. They will be supported by the Business Control Committee (BCC). The people responsible for each idea project will report about their progress at typo3.org. If they succeed, they will be paid their allotted budget.
From the BCC’s point of view, all ideas would have been worth funding. Having a look at the voting results, we do see favorites, but the results in the main field are very close and a few more votes could have changed the overall results.
The results of the previous budgets are already published at typo3.org. In the following weeks, results of all selected budgets will be published.
