[edit] Spam in External Links?
Somehow I don't think that links to "consultancies" or non-english sites in the en.wikipedia.org domain ought to exist. I think that the article ought to exist in the other language venues at WP with the appropriate links moved there. As to the consultancies, it just smacks of commercial advertisement -- a place not to be found in WP. I propose that both types be removed. --Paul Laudanski 03:08, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
- Ok it seems User:Hirzel removed the links [1]. --Paul Laudanski 02:04, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
- Links to consultants using the software are definitely wp:spam and should be remove without discussion. -- Kl4m T C 18:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Also, the External link called Comparing TYPO3 with phpWebSite lead to an outdated article which seems to me biased and contains also misleading information. Eg. on Page 2: "TYPO3 has a very strong content orientation. It's basically one monolithic piece of software...". Typo3 is definitely not monolithic - far from it; it's very nicely modularized. Not just the content and appearance are separated, but the Front-End, Back-End, Extensions, localizations, etc. And, if we are to compare CMS systems, the [OpenSourceCMS]http://www.opensourcecms.com/ website with user comments is way better source of information for undecided people looking for a suitable CMS.

[edit] "web content management framework"
The first sentence says TYPO3 is a CMS, but TYPO3 describes itself as a "web content management framework", which I agree with. It's difficult for a non web-developer to build upon TYPO3. What do you think about it? -- Kl4m T C 18:57, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
I guess Kasper designed that primarily as a flexible framework, but it was tightly integrated with the CMS elements/functions so at the end of the day Typo3 version 4.x IS a CMS which is based on a well thought-of framework. To my knowledge, this framework is only used and utilized by Typo3 at the moment. This tight framework-CMS integration can disapperar with the new Flow3 system, started from scratch. Flow3 is (will be) the next-gen framework, and Typo3 v5.x will be only one CMS 'application', that will be built/running on top of this framework - but other people can built other CMS or non-CMS systems on this new, independent framework logic called Flow3.

[edit] "NPOV: 'one of the leading...'"
First sentence of this entry is derived from TYPO3's marketing materials (via Google search) and is clearly NOT from a NPOV (plus factually quite questionable). Very close to deletable as an advertisement with this lead??
CMS/CMF is industry jargon, with no clear distinction between the two; at the time of release, 'CMS'es were arguably very hard for a non-developer to build upon; and TYPO3 is listed as a CMS by CMSWatch, so I'm not sure there's any way to further clarify in this article.68.217.153.207 (talk)
